Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen ein Gehäuse mit darin befindlichen Leitungkanälen
aufweisenden Anschlußadapter für ein System bei dem eine oder mehrere
Kreiselpumpen mit Komponenten wie Ein -oder Mehrwegeventilen und/oder
Verteilerstücken über kompatible Systemanschüsse hydraulisch verschaltbar sind,
wobei die Öffnungen der kompatiblen Systemanschüsse in Ebenen liegen, die parallel
zur Drehebene eines Laufrades einer Kreiselpumpe sind.
Es sind Anschlußadapter bekannt, mit denen Kreiselpumpen der oben beschriebenen
Art beispielsweise an Heizkesseln angebracht werden. Dabei ist es gleichfalls möglich,
zwischen der Pumpe und dem Heizkessel einen weiteren Verteiler oder ein Ventil
anzuordnen. Solche Systeme, bei denen einzelne Komponenten "in-line" hydraulisch
gekoppelt zusammengefügt werden haben den Nachteil, daß sie nicht in
herkömmlichen Heizkreislaufen an beliebiger Stelle integrierbar sind. Für einen solchen
Anschluß sind zwar hydraulische Verteilerstationen bekannt, an denen eine Pumpe der
genannten Art montierbar ist. Diese Verteilerstationen sind jedoch aus einer großen
Zahl einzelner Komponenten zusammengefügt und damit aufwendig zu handhaben
und teuer in der Herstellung.The invention relates to a connection adapter having a housing with line ducts therein for a system in which one or more centrifugal pumps with components such as one-way or multi-way valves and / or distributor pieces can be hydraulically connected by means of compatible system connections, the openings of the compatible system connections lying in levels that are parallel to the level of rotation of an impeller of a centrifugal pump.
Connection adapters are known with which centrifugal pumps of the type described above are attached, for example, to boilers. It is also possible to arrange a further distributor or a valve between the pump and the boiler. Systems of this type, in which individual components are hydraulically coupled "in-line" have the disadvantage that they cannot be integrated at any point in conventional heating circuits. For such a connection, hydraulic distribution stations are known, on which a pump of the type mentioned can be mounted. However, these distribution stations are assembled from a large number of individual components and are therefore difficult to handle and expensive to manufacture.
Aus der DE-U-8900912 ist ein Beimischaggregat für Grossflächenheizungen bekannt, bei dem das Pumpengehäuse zweiteilig ausgebildet ist. Das dem Motor abgewandte Pumpengehäuse besitzt mehrere Anschlüsse in mehreren Ebenen. Dies erfordert konstruktiv aufwändige Pumpengehäuse.From DE-U-8900912 an admixing unit for large area heating is known, in which the pump housing is formed in two parts.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, einen Anschlußadapter für ein modulares System hydraulischer Komponenten zu schaffen, der bei einfachem Aufbau und einfacher Handhabung günstig in der Herstellung ist und eine Vielzahl von Einsatzmöglichkeiten bietet.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a connection adapter for a to create a modular system of hydraulic components with a simple structure and simple handling is cheap to manufacture and a variety of Offers possible uses.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Anschlußadapter nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.
Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen des erfindungsgemäßen Anschlußadapters sind in den
Unteransprüchen aufgeführt.
Besonders vorteilhaft an dem erfindungsgemäßen Anschlußadapter ist, daß er es auf
einfachste Weise ermöglicht, Kreiselpumpen mit stirnseitigen Anschlüssen, als Teil
eines modularen Systems insbesondere horizontal angeordneter hydraulischer
Komponenten, in einen herkömmlichen Heizungskreislauf mit vertikal oder horizontal
verlaufenden Rohren zu integrieren. Dabei kann der Kreiselpumpe je nach Auslegung
der Systemanschlüsse des Anschlußadapters ein zusätzliches Ventil, z.B. ein
Mehrwegeventil, oder ein Verteilerstück vorgeschaltet werden. Da der Anschlußadapter
sämtliche Funktionen in einem einzigen Bauteil vereint, ist seine Handhabung
besonders komfortabel und einfach. Der erfindungsgemäße Anschlußadapter bietet
eine kostengünstige Lösung für den komfortablen Anschluß hydraulischer
Komponenten an ein Heizungssystem.
In einer besonders günstigen Ausführungsform kann das Gehäuse des
Anschlußadapters und die darin befindlichen Leitungskanälen einstückig aus Metall
oder Kunststoff, z.B. aus Polyamid, insbesondere als Spritzguß Teil gefertigt sein.
Dadurch ist der Anschlußadapter besonders preiswert in der Herstellung. Auch bei
dieser Fertigungstechnik läßt sich die Führung der Leitungskanäle beliebig konzipieren,
so daß durch den Anschlußadapter eine Vielzahl von Einsatzmöglichkeiten geboten
sind. This object is achieved by a connection adapter according to claim 1.
Advantageous embodiments of the connection adapter according to the invention are listed in the subclaims.
A particular advantage of the connection adapter according to the invention is that it enables the simplest way to integrate centrifugal pumps with end connections, as part of a modular system, in particular horizontally arranged hydraulic components, into a conventional heating circuit with vertical or horizontal pipes. Depending on the design of the system connections of the connection adapter, the centrifugal pump can be preceded by an additional valve, eg a multi-way valve, or a distributor. Since the connection adapter combines all functions in a single component, its handling is particularly convenient and simple. The connection adapter according to the invention offers an inexpensive solution for the convenient connection of hydraulic components to a heating system.
In a particularly favorable embodiment, the housing of the connection adapter and the line ducts therein can be made in one piece from metal or plastic, for example from polyamide, in particular as an injection molded part. This makes the connection adapter particularly inexpensive to manufacture. In this production technology, too, the routing of the line ducts can be designed as desired, so that the connection adapter offers a multitude of possible uses.
In einer besonderen Ausführungsform weist der Anschlußadapter drei Anschlußstutzen
auf und ist damit für den Anschluß einer Pumpe mit vorgeschaltetem Dreiwege-Ventil,
vorgeschalteter Doppelpumpe oder Dreiwege-Richteinrichtung geeignet. Dabei sind
zwei Anschlußstutzen, die jeweils die zwei Ein- bzw. die zwei Auslässe bilden
achsparallel so angeordnet sind, daß ihre Öffnungen in einer ersten Ebene liegen. Die
Öffnung des verbleibenden dritten Anschlußstutzens, der entsprechend den Aus- bzw.
Einlaß bildet, liegt in einer zweiten Ebene, die parallel zur ersten Ebene ist. Wenn in
einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der dritte Anschlußstutzen in derselben Achse wie
einer der beiden anderen Anschlußstutzen liegt, läßt sich der Anschlußadapter auf
einfache Weise in eine Rohrleitung eines bestehenden Heizungssystems einbauen.
In einer anderen Ausführungsform weist der Anschlußadapter vier Anschlußstutzen auf
und ist damit für den Anschluß einer Pumpe mit vorgeschaltetem Vierwege-Ventil oder
für den Anschluß einer Doppelpumpe oder Dreiwege-Richteinrichtung geeignet. In
dieser Ausführungsform liegen jeweils zwei Anschlußstutzen achsparallel mit ihre
Öffnungen in einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen, wobei die beiden Ebenen parallel sind.
Für eine einfache Integration in ein Rohrsystem ist es dabei besonders vorteilhaft,
wenn jeweils einer der Anschlußstutzen in der ersten Ebene in axialer Verlängerung
des Anschlußtutzens der zweiten Ebene liegt.
Als Anschlußadapter für ein Drei- oder Vierwege-Ventil läßt sich der Anschlußadapters
besonders vorteilhaft in einem Heizungssystem einsetzen, bei dem die Heizwasserund
die Warmwasseraufbereitung von einer gemeinsamen Pumpeneinheit versorgt
werden.
Vorteilhafterweise sind die Anschlußstutzen mit Flanschen oder Gewinden der
landläufig verwendeten Norm versehen. Damit wird der Anschluß an ein
Rohrleitungssystem besonders einfach. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, die
Anschlußstutzen aus Metall zu fertigen und mit den Rohrenden zu verlöten oder zu
verschweißen.
Da bei bestehenden Heizungssystemen oft bestimmte Baumaße zum Einbau von
Komponenten vorgegeben sind, ist es vorteilhaft, den Abstand der Ebenen in denen die
Anschlußstutzen liegen auf diese Maße festzulegen. Ein Standardmaß für den Abstand
ist dabei insbesondere 180 mm aber auch 130 mm. Bei Verwendung dieser Maße sind
beim Einbau keine weiteren Übergangsstücke nötig.In a special embodiment, the connection adapter has three connection pieces and is therefore suitable for connecting a pump with an upstream three-way valve, an upstream double pump or a three-way straightening device. There are two connecting pieces, each of which forms the two inlets and the two outlets, are arranged axially parallel so that their openings lie in a first plane. The opening of the remaining third connection piece, which correspondingly forms the outlet or inlet, lies in a second plane which is parallel to the first plane. If, in an advantageous embodiment, the third connection piece is in the same axis as one of the other two connection pieces, the connection adapter can be easily installed in a pipe of an existing heating system.
In another embodiment, the connection adapter has four connecting pieces and is therefore suitable for connecting a pump with an upstream four-way valve or for connecting a double pump or three-way straightening device. In this embodiment, two connecting pieces each lie axially parallel with their openings in a common plane, the two planes being parallel. For simple integration into a pipe system, it is particularly advantageous if one of the connecting pieces in the first level lies in the axial extension of the connecting piece on the second level.
As a connection adapter for a three- or four-way valve, the connection adapter can be used particularly advantageously in a heating system in which the heating water and the hot water preparation are supplied by a common pump unit.
The connecting pieces are advantageously provided with flanges or threads of the commonly used standard. This makes the connection to a piping system particularly easy. However, it is also possible to manufacture the connecting piece from metal and to solder or weld it to the pipe ends.
Since certain dimensions are often specified for the installation of components in existing heating systems, it is advantageous to determine the distance between the levels in which the connecting pieces lie on these dimensions. A standard dimension for the distance is in particular 180 mm but also 130 mm. If these dimensions are used, no further transition pieces are required for installation.
In einer besonderen Ausführungsform sind die Anschlußstutzen des Anschlußadapters
durch im Gehäuse angeordnete Absperrventile verschließbar. Damit kann das
hydraulische System der Pumpe vollständig von dem Heizkreislauf getrennt werden, so
daß ein komfortabler Austausch der Komponenten und eine günstige
Wartungsmögichkeit gegeben ist. Um dennoch den Strom durch den Anschlußadapter
zu gewährleisten ist es vorteilhaft, die Leitungkanäle durch eine mittels Ventil
verschließbare Bypaßleitung zu verbinden. Die Ventile können dabei manuell oder
elektrisch schaltbar sein.
In einer anderen Ausführungsform sind in den Anschlußadapter Überströmventile
integriert. Damit ist eine Sicherheitsfunktion realisiert, die ein Ausströmen von
Pumpmedium bei gefährlichen Überdruck gewährleistet. Es ist ebenso möglich, die
schaltbaren Ventile durch Überströmventile in Form von Rückschlagventilen zu
ersetzten. Zum Ausgleich unerwünschter Druckspitzen im System kann zudem ein
Druckaufnehmer wie beispielsweise eine flexible Membran in den Anschlußadapter
integriert werden. In a special embodiment, the connection piece of the connection adapter can be closed by shut-off valves arranged in the housing. This means that the hydraulic system of the pump can be completely separated from the heating circuit, so that the components can be exchanged conveniently and maintenance can be carried out cheaply. In order to nevertheless guarantee the current through the connection adapter, it is advantageous to connect the line channels by means of a bypass line which can be closed by means of a valve. The valves can be switched manually or electrically.
In another embodiment, overflow valves are integrated in the connection adapter. This implements a safety function that ensures that pumped medium flows out in the event of dangerous excess pressure. It is also possible to replace the switchable valves with overflow valves in the form of check valves. To compensate for undesirable pressure peaks in the system, a pressure sensor such as a flexible membrane can also be integrated in the connection adapter.
Da der Anschlußadapter einen leichten Zugang zum hydraulischen System bietet ist es
vorteilhaft, in mindestens einem seiner Leitungkanäle eine Einrichtung zum Filtern des
Pumpmediuns vorzusehen. Dieser Filter hält Pumpmedium sauber und schont somit
alle Komponenten der Anlage. Wegen der einfachen Zugänglichkeit läßt er sich
bequem reinigen. Aus demselben Grund ist es vorteilhaft, in den Anschlußadapter
Sensoren zur Messung von Systemparametern wie Wärmemenge, Volumenstrom,
Systemdruck und/oder Temperatur einzubauen. Die gemessenen Werte lassen sich
über elektrische Leitungen an externe Anzeigegeräte übertragen oder auf Displays, die
am Gehäuse oder der Pumpe angebracht sind, anzeigen. In dieser besonderen
Ausführungsform kommt dem Anschlußadapter eine zentrale Rolle in einem jeden
Heizungssystem zu.
Ausführungsbeispiele des erfindungsgemäßen Anschlußadapters sind in den
Zeichnungen dargestellt und werden im folgenden näher beschrieben.Since the connection adapter provides easy access to the hydraulic system, it is advantageous to provide a device for filtering the pump medium in at least one of its line channels. This filter keeps the pump medium clean and therefore protects all components of the system. It is easy to clean because of its easy access. For the same reason, it is advantageous to install sensors for measuring system parameters such as the amount of heat, volume flow, system pressure and / or temperature in the connection adapter. The measured values can be transmitted to external display devices via electrical cables or shown on displays attached to the housing or the pump. In this particular embodiment, the connection adapter plays a central role in every heating system.
