The sheet metal contacts and the PTC element connect by means of an adhesive with a specific electric resistance of 50 Ohms x cm minimum and 500 Ohms x cm maximum. An independent claim is also included for adhesive or solder used between a ceramic positive temperature coefficient element and an electrically conductive sheet metal contact.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Heizungsanordnung mit einem PTC-Element, insbesondere für ein Kraftfahrzeug, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a heating arrangement with a PTC element, in particular for a motor vehicle, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE 101 44 757 A1 ist eine Heizungsanordnung mit einem PTC-Element für Personenfahrzeuge bekannt, wobei eine Zusatzheizung mit einem Heizkörper, der im Betrieb der Zusatzheizung von Heizluft durchströmt wird, und mit mindestens einer Luftaustrittsöffnung im Fußbereich eines Fahrgastraumes versehen ist, zu der die Heizluft geleitet wird. Um auf flexible Weise eine vertikale Temperaturschichtung im Fahrgastraum erzeugen zu können, die insbesondere auch an Sitzen im Fond als angenehm empfunden wird, ist der Heizkörper als ein elektrisches PTC-Element gestaltet, welches unmittelbar an der Luftaustrittsöffnung im Fußbereich angeordnet ist. Ein derartiger Zuheizer lässt noch Wünsche offen. Gemäß einem offenbarten Ausführungsbeispiel ist ein PTC-Element in Gestalt mehrerer Heizwaben in einem nicht näher beschriebenen Kunststoff-Rahmen angeordnet, der die Luftaustrittsöffnung einfasst.From the DE 101 44 757 A1 a heating arrangement with a PTC element for passenger vehicles is known, wherein an additional heating with a radiator, which is flowed through in the operation of the additional heating of heating air, and provided with at least one air outlet opening in the foot of a passenger compartment to which the heating air is passed. In order to be able to produce a vertical temperature stratification in the passenger compartment in a flexible manner, which is particularly pleasant for seats in the rear, the radiator is designed as an electric PTC element, which is arranged directly on the air outlet opening in the foot region. Such a heater can still be desired. According to a disclosed embodiment, a PTC element is arranged in the form of several Heizwaben in a plastic frame not described in detail, which encloses the air outlet opening.

Die Anbringung von Kontakblechen an PTC-Elementen erfolgt herkömmlicherweise mittels eines Klebstoffs, wobei - je nach Einsatzfall - isolierende Klebstoffe mit einem spezifischen elektrischen Widerstand von über 10000 Ohm x cm, oder leitende Klebstoffe mit einem spezifischen elektrischen Widerstand von unter 10 Ohm x cm verwendet werden. Derartige Verbindungen zwischen Kontakblech und PTC-Element lassen noch Wünsche offen.The attachment of contact plates to PTC elements is conventionally carried out by means of an adhesive, wherein - depending on the application - insulating adhesives with a resistivity of over 10000 ohm cm, or conductive adhesives are used with a resistivity of less than 10 ohm x cm , Such connections between contact plate and PTC element leave nothing to be desired.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine verbesserte Heizungsanordnung mit PTC-Element zur Verfügung zu stellen.It is an object of the invention to provide an improved heating arrangement with PTC element available.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Heizungsanordnung mit einem PTC-Element mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by a heating arrangement with a PTC element having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the subject matter of the subclaims.

Erfindungsgemäß ist eine Heizungsanordnung mit mindestens einem PTC-Element vorgesehen, wobei das PTC-Element zwischen Kontaktblechen angeordnet ist, die der elektrischen Anbindung dienen, wobei die Kontaktbleche und das PTC-Element mittels eines Klebstoffes verbunden sind, der einen spezifischen elektrischen Widerstand von minimal 50 Ohm x cm und maximal 500 Ohm x cm, vorzugsweise von minimal 80 Ohm x cm und maximal 150 Ohm x cm, insbesondere von 100 Ohm x cm +/- 10%, aufweist.According to the invention, a heating arrangement is provided with at least one PTC element, wherein the PTC element is arranged between contact plates, which serve for electrical connection, wherein the contact plates and the PTC element are connected by means of an adhesive having a specific electrical resistance of at least 50 Ohm x cm and a maximum of 500 ohms x cm, preferably of at least 80 ohms x cm and a maximum of 150 ohms x cm, in particular of 100 ohms x cm +/- 10%.

Die Heizungs- und Sicherheitsaspekte werden gleichzeitig berücksichtigt, wenn ein Klebstoff mit einem gewissen spezifischen elektrischen Widerstand, insbesondere ein Klebstoff mit einem spezifischen elektrischen Widerstand von 50 bis 500 Ohm x cm, gewählt wird, wobei die PTC-Elemente mit Kontaktblechen durch diesen elektrisch leitenden Klebstoff verbunden werden. Dabei ist der spezifische elektrische Widerstand so zu wählen, dass zum Einen das Risiko eines Kurzschlusses zwischen den Kontakblechen vermieden wird. Zum Anderen ist der spezifische elektrische Widerstand so zu wählen, dass im Falle einer Beschädigung der Heizungsanordnung in Folge von Alterung die Klebstoffschicht eine Zwangentspannung haben kann, wodurch es keinen direkt Kontakt mehr zwischen dem PTC-Element und den Kontaktblechen gibt, jedoch für diesen Fall die Klebstoffschicht eine ausreichende elektrische Leitfähigkeit aufweist, um die Heizfunktion aufrecht zu erhalten. Dabei hat die Klebstoffschicht einen zusätzlichen elektrischen Widerstand und zeigt eine annehmbare Heizleistung. Vorteil der Erfindung ist dass, in diesem Fall die Heizfunktion nicht gestört wird. Der o.g. Bereich für den spezifischen elektrischen Widerstand hat sich als am besten geeignet herausgestellt.The heating and safety aspects are considered simultaneously when an adhesive with a certain electrical resistivity, in particular an adhesive with a specific electrical resistance of 50 to 500 ohm.cm, is selected, the PTC elements having contact sheets through this electrically conductive adhesive get connected. The specific electrical resistance should be selected so that on the one hand the risk of a short circuit between the contact plates is avoided. On the other hand, the specific electrical resistance should be selected so that in case of damage to the heating system in As a result of aging, the adhesive layer may have a forced relaxation, whereby there is no more direct contact between the PTC element and the contact sheets, but in this case the adhesive layer has sufficient electrical conductivity to maintain the heating function. The adhesive layer has an additional electrical resistance and shows an acceptable heating power. Advantage of the invention is that, in this case, the heating function is not disturbed. The above range of resistivity has been found to be most suitable.

Bevorzugt ist die Schichtdicke des Klebstoffs zwischen dem PTC-Element und einem Kontakblech vor einer Zwangsentspannung vernachlässigbar und beträgt nach einer Zwangentspannung maximal 0,02 µm, insbesondere 0,01 um +/- 10%.Preferably, the layer thickness of the adhesive between the PTC element and a Kontakblech is negligible before a forced relaxation and is after a forced relaxation of a maximum of 0.02 microns, in particular 0.01 to +/- 10%.

Anstelle von einem Klebstoff kann auch ein Lot mit einem entsprechenden spezifischen elektrischen Widerstand verwendet werden.Instead of an adhesive, a solder with a corresponding electrical resistivity can also be used.
