Definitions
- the invention relates to a snow and ice alarm device with a humidity sensor to which a heating circuit is assigned and one as a function of a moisture sensor measured variable controlled evaluation circuit that at predetermined Humidity values a switching and / or control signal produce.
- the invention further relates to a method for Operation of the snow and ice alarm system.
- DE 40 32 734 C1 describes a snow and ice detection device known for controlling a heating system.
- This Facility prevents snow and ice formation on limited Road areas, ramps or roofs.
- Moisture is at least two exposed electrodes thereby found that there is a resistance between the electrode assembly measured and when falling below a predetermined Resistance value moisture is signaled.
- a heating element in or on the moisture electrodes be arranged so that an adjacent layer of ice and snow melted and converted into electrically conductive water becomes.
- a Temperature sensor that detects ambient or surface temperature required.
- the humidity sensor develops after falling below a "critical" temperature value (close to 0 ° C) Moisture signal, so the switching or control signal is generated and the associated heating system switched on because of snow or Ice formation can be assumed.
- This well-known establishment is characterized by high accuracy and has proven in practice. However, it has not been easy so far possible to be exposed to constant environmental influences metallic moisture electrodes from corrosion. pollution and / or to protect short circuits from the outside.
- the operational Reliability of the well-known ice and snow detector therefore depends on periodic maintenance and cleaning work from. Such work may only be of Specialist personnel can be carried out and, above all, complex if the humidity sensor is relatively difficult to access, for example in a gutter. Also a tight encapsulation the electrical components of the known humidity sensor is not easy to implement because of the metallic Electrodes must be exposed.
- the invention has for its object a snow and To provide ice reporting facilities at the a reliable function with significantly reduced maintenance and low production costs guaranteed is.
- this object is inventively solved in that an ambient temperature sensor in a Control circuit is arranged, which at the humidity sensor Detection of a temperature within a specified temperature range activated; that the humidity sensor is a PTC heating element has, whose current consumption as a measure of the Moisture is used; and that the two sensors in mutual distance in an elongated sensor cartridge are arranged such that the temperature sensor of the PCT heating element is thermally decoupled.
- the invention is based on the use of a moisture sensor with maintenance-intensive exposed moisture electrodes.
- the invention uses the temperature-dependent current consumption of a PTC resistor or heating element for moisture measurement.
- This PTC heating element can be produced very inexpensively in the form of a pill which is installed in a heat-conducting capsule, for example a metal or glass sleeve.
- the current consumption of a PTC heating element or resistor is dependent not only on its ambient temperature, but also on its energy output to the environment.
- the heat transfer between solid bodies and gaseous media is significantly worse than that between solid bodies and liquid media.
- the heat dissipation from the PTC heating element by air (with a dry sensor) is significantly worse than through a damp or even liquid ambient atmosphere.
- the diagram according to FIG. A was recorded in an ambient temperature window between + 5 ° C. and -20 ° C. Data were recorded at an operating voltage of 12V the following currents Feeler dry, calm 100 ... 120mA Feeler dry, strong wind 140 ... 170mA / Feeler moist 190 ... 200mA Feeler very wet 200 ... 250mA.
- a significant advantage of the invention also lies in the special training of the entire sensor combination in one elongated feeler cartridge.
- the sensor cartridge has overall small dimensions and can be easily on one suitable location of the area to be monitored for snow and ice formation Install zone.
- the humidity sensor is always there in the so-called distal area of the elongated sensor cartridge arranged while the ambient temperature sensor is spaced from the moisture sensor and thermally decoupled.
- the heating effect of the PTC heating element influences the detection of the ambient temperature the temperature sensor not; nevertheless, both sensors can be admitted in the sensor cartridge unite in a compact unit.
- the sensor cartridge formed as a plastic tube on one End a cable entry and in its opposite End area the PTC heating element in a metal or glass sleeve is arranged.
- the plastic tube has at the distal end an opening at which the thermally conductive sleeve or Shell of the PTC heating element is exposed to the environment and the Possibility to dissipate heat.
- the ambient temperature sensor is close to the cable entry, i.e. away from the PTC heating element arranged in the plastic tube.
- Snow and ice reporting facilities are usually one Defrosting heater controlled.
- This can for example, be installed in a roof and ensure that the roof is reliable from larger masses of snow is kept free.
- the advantage of such roof heating is in addition to avoiding dangerous ice and snow roof avalanches the possibility of permanent relief of the Roof construction and thus for the lighter and cheaper Roof design.
- the control circuit closes the Invention the measuring circuit of the moisture sensor.
- the humidity sensor is therefore only subjected to current if the Ambient temperature is in a critical range close to 0 ° C, if there is any danger of snow and ice formation consists.
- the control circuit After switching on the power to the PTC heating element the latter initially has a very high and of the moisture consumption is largely independent of the humidity.
- a lead time lock activated by the control circuit effective which triggers the switching and / or Control signal over a predetermined period of time locks until the PTC heating element is a steady Has reached operating state.
- the temperature windows of both the ambient temperature sensor are preferably as well as the humidity sensor.

- the ambient temperature sensor is designed as a PTC resistor and on the cable entry 16 adjacent end region of the sensor cartridge 14 arranged so that the ambient temperature through its thin wall can record relatively quickly and accurately.
- the Moisture sensor 13 designed as a PTC heating element is on the the cable entry 16 opposite end of the elongated Sensor cartridge 14 arranged, in one such a distance from the ambient temperature sensor 12 that the latter unaffected by the heating energy of the PTC heating element, is thermally decoupled from the heating element.
- the PTC heating element is moisture proof in a metal or Glass sleeve arranged.
- the latter lies through a window-like Opening 17 in the plastic tube 14 open to the outside.
- the from the PTC heating element when the humidity sensor is activated generated heat can therefore without significant transition losses through which the heating element receiving metal or Glass sleeve are discharged to the environment.
- the ambient temperature measurement by the temperature sensor 12 is in the ice and snow reporting device described 1 the primary measurement and control variable.

- the ambient temperature signal is the temperature evaluation device 20 fed via a line 24 and with the temperature window set on 21 and 22 compared.
- the temperature evaluation device remains outside the temperature window 20 inactive.
- the humidity sensor forming PTC heating element 13 remains off as long as the ambient temperature outside the set temperature window is and no switching signal at the output 25 of the Temperature evaluation device 20 is present.
- the temperature evaluation device 20 a switching signal on line 25.
- This switching signal closes a PTC control switch 26 the operating circuit 30 of the PTC heating element, which starts to heat up immediately.
- the current consumption of the PTC heating element can be via a current evaluation device 31 recorded and taking into account the A as a measure of the humidity in the environment of the moisture sensor 13 can be used.
- the Current draw of the PTC heating element is during an initial Swing-in phase not a reproducible measure for the Humidity environment of the PTC sensor 13. To avoid Incorrect measurements or falsifications are therefore described Embodiment of FIG.
- one of the signal on the line 25 activated lead time block 33 is provided, which is coupled to the current evaluation device 31 and. the latter over a predetermined time after generation of the signal on line 25 blocks.
