Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of equipment domestic, in particular of heating and more particularly the towel radiators, and relates to an electrical device for controlling a radiator, in particular an electric towel radiator.
  • the towel radiators are radiators, often used as auxiliary radiators, consisting of a body heater on which towels or the like can be hung and by a device for controlling and adjusting a penetrating heating means tightly in said body, such as an immersion heater.
  • the body heater is usually filled with a heat transfer fluid and closed with sealingly at the immersion heater.
  • radiators are produced in the form of a complete assembly, namely radiator and control device, in factory, and are installed directly by qualified operators.
  • the control device which can be of the control type to distance, contains all the circuits necessary for this purpose and present in the form of a relatively complex and bulky element, this which entails risks of deterioration during storage, transport and handling before and during installation. Furthermore, this device also requires a relatively complex and front connection necessarily be carried out by qualified personnel.
  • the heating body of these assemblies has a wired outlet which requires a connection to the control circuit and this connection is made in the factory. As a result, for power installations different, it is necessary to carry out the manufacture of as many sets corresponding, so that the references are multiplied and the stocks which increases the cost of the heating thus produced.
  • this control device is equipped with a actuation by infrared and this receiver must be precisely positioned towards the command transmitter in order to guarantee optimal operation.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks by proposing an electrical device for controlling a radiator, particular of an electric towel heater, allowing a control, in particular from a distance, of a radiator by simple means and quick installation.
  • the electric device for controlling a radiator in particular an electric towel heater, is characterized by which is essentially constituted by an electrical control means a heating device integrated in a heating element and by a quick adjustment means in position of said control means relative to the heating element.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 of the accompanying drawings show a device electric control of a radiator, in particular a radiator electric towel warmer.
  • this device is essentially constituted by an electrical means 1 for controlling a heater 2 integrated in a heating element 3 and by means 4 of adjustment fast in position of said control means 1 relative to the element heater 3.
  • the heater 3 is only shown in Figures 1 to 3 of attached drawings, only by a cooperating radiator end element with the heating device 2.
  • This heating device 2 is present, in the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, in the form of a immersion heater immersed in a heat transfer fluid. However, it could also be envisaged to produce this heating device 2 in the form a solenoid valve connected to a central heating circuit.
  • the electrical means 1 for controlling the heating device 2 advantageously takes the form of an electric actuator 5, connected electrically to the heater 2 and energized via a means 6 of direct or indirect actuation.
  • Electric actuator 5 is advantageously constituted in the form of a relay provided with an output wired connected to a plug-in connector 7 on corresponding tabs 8 of the heating body 2.
  • the means 6 of direct or indirect actuation of the actuator electric 5 can be either in the form of a device electromechanical such as a switch connected to the relay forming the actuator electric 5, either in the form of an infrared or radio frequency receiver connected to said relay forming the actuator 5.
  • All of the electrical control means 1 is connected known manner to a power cord 19 to be connected to the installation electric.
  • This electrical control means 1 is further constituted by a body 9 for receiving the electric actuator 5 and the means 6 actuating the latter, this body 9 being provided, on the one hand, with a orifice 10 for passage of the power cord 19 and an opening 11 for housing of the direct or indirect actuation means 6 of the actuator electric 5 and, on the other hand, a snap-on connection end piece 12 cooperating with a connection ring 13 and orientation fitted the corresponding end of the heating element 3 by snapping into the outlet end of the heating body 2.
  • the snap-on connection end piece 12 is integral with the end of the body 9 and is advantageously provided with at least one elastic tongue 12 'which cooperates, in the mounting position of the body 9 on the heating element 3, with an annular rib 14 provided on the end corresponding to the heating body 2, a peripheral seal 15 housed in a groove in said end of the heating body 2 ensuring sealing with the body 9.
  • connection ring 13 ( Figures 1 and 3) is provided with a part, of elastic snap tabs 13 'cooperating with a rib internal annular 16 of the corresponding end of the heating body 2 and, on the other hand, at its opposite end, 13 "peripheral grooves cooperating, in the mounting position of the body 9, with ribs of positioning 17 arranged in parallel on the internal wall of the body 9 ( Figures 1 and 4).
  • Such rotation with indexing in position by cooperation of the 13 "grooves with the ribs of positioning 17 provides precise adjustment of the position of the means 6 for direct or indirect actuation of the electric actuator 5 by in relation to the heating element 3, in view, either of its easy access for a manual control, i.e. positioning of the receiving cell by relative to an element emitting infrared waves or radio frequencies.
  • the body 9 is further provided with internal ribs 18 arranged symmetrically by relative to its longitudinal axis and intended to produce guide rails, positioning and holding the actuator actuation means 6 electric 5, as well as the latter.
  • Such an embodiment of the body 9 allows perform a complete assembly of the actuating means assembly 6 and electric actuator 5, as well as the power cord 19 in a sub-assembly control module, of which only connector 7, connected to the actuator electric 5 by means of connection wires, remains mobile and accessible for mounting on the corresponding end of the body heats 2 of a heating element 3.
  • this wired connection allows a significant relative movement between the body 9 and the heating body 2, because that the available length of wire allows a fairly large winding of these on themselves.
  • the electric actuator 5 and the means 6 of control of the electric actuator 5 can also be carried out under form of two independent circuits, the actuator 5 being, for example, under form of a power circuit, while the control means 6 is supplied with low voltage.
  • the control means 6 it is possible to envisage the integration of the relay of tensioning of the body 2 or solenoid valve directly in a sleeve corresponding to the heating element 3, the control means 6 being limited to simple low voltage control of the energizing relay heater body voltage 2.
  • the constitution and the method of mounting the device in accordance with the invention allow not only a quick connection of it to a heating element 3, but also easy access, before mounting the device, to the heating body 2, which becomes easily removable. So, it can perfectly be envisaged to carry out the storage and the delivery of heating elements 3 vacuum, filling with heat transfer fluid can be carried out directly on site before installation.
  • the invention it is possible to produce a device electric control of a radiator, in particular a radiator electric towel warmer simple to manufacture and quick to assemble simple.
  • this device in the form of a sub-assembly can simply and quickly be connected to a body of heater allows significant gains both in terms of manufacturing logistics, the subset obtained can easily be adapted to different heaters and at different powers.
  • the device according to the invention allows, in the case of an order to distance, to optimize the range of the means used.
  • the device according to the invention can be produced under the shape of an aesthetic subset of small footprint.
  • This device has essentially been described for use with electric heaters. However, it is entirely possible integrate the device according to the invention with heating radiators central, whose individual management is ensured through a centralized circuit of the home automation type.
