Description

Warmwasserspeicher Hot water storage
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Warmwasserspeicher, insbesondere einen Kleinspeicher der im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Art.The invention relates to a hot water tank, in particular a small tank of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
Bei in der Praxis bekannten, in der Einbaulage z.B. mit der Rückseite des Kleinspe cher-Gehäuses an einer im Wesentlichen vertikalen Wand montierbaren Kleinspe ehern haben sich zwei unterschiedliche Gehäusekonzepte durchgesetzt. Bei dem e nen Gehäusekonzept ist ein im Grundzug rechteckiger, seichter Kasten vorgesehen, dessen Kastenboden als Montagerückwand dient und in dem von der offenen Seite her die Kleinspeicher-Innenteile montiert werden, ehe ein ähnlicher, seichter zweiter Kasten von vorne aufgesteckt. Die Kastenränder des zweiten Kastens werden entweder innen in die Öffnung des anderen Kastens eingesteckt oder außen darüber gestülpt. Die Trennebene liegt in der Einbaulage im Wesentlichen vertikal. Bei dem anderen, bekannten Gehäusekon∑ept werden die Innenteile des Kleinspeichers in ein in der Einbaulage vertikal verlaufendes, vierkantiges Kastenprofil aus Blech eingebracht, von dem eine Seitenwand die Montagerückwand bildet, und werden anschließend obere und untere Kunststoff-Stülpdeckel aufgesetzt, die in zwei im Wesentlichen horizontal orientierten Trennebenen außen über die Öffnungsenden des Blech-Kastenprofils greifen. Diese bekannten Gehäusekonzepte bedingen relativ hohen Herstellungs- und Montageaufwand, auch um eine zumindest weitgehend spritzwassersichere Trennfuge zu erzielen, und sind teuer. Das äußere Erscheinungsbild lässt zu wünschen übrig. Beim ersten Gehäusekonzept ist der Übergang vom vorderen aufgesteckten Kasten zum hinteren, die Montagerückwand bildenden, und meist aus anderem und auch o- berflächlich deutlich verschiedenem Material bestehendem Kasten deutlich wahrnehm- bar. Beim zweiten Gehäusekonzept ist die Mischbauweise Kunststoff/Blech mit den beiden Trennfugen auch wegen der deutlich unterschiedlichen Oberflächen und Oberflächenebenheiten deutlich wahrnehmbar. Außerdem ist die Spritzwasserfestigkeit im unteren Trennfugenbereich schwierig zu gewährleisten. Ein verkaufsstrategisch schwerwiegender Nachteil liegt bei beiden Gehäusekonzepten darin, dass die Gehäu- sekonzepte bei auf gleichen oder ähnlichen Innenkomponenten des Kleinspeichers basierenden Versionen einer Modellreihe keinen nennenswerten Freiheitsgrad bieten, ohne erheblichen Kostenaufwand deutlich erkennbare Unterschiede vorzusehen. Es gibt nämlich marktstrategischen Bedarf der Hersteller solcher Kleinspeicher, über für verschiedene Verkaufsstätten konzipierte Modellversionen gezielt bestimmte Verbraucherkreise anzusprechen und innerhalb einer Modellserie auf unterschiedlichen Preisniveaus beispielsweise Einfachversionen in Baumärkten und aufgewertete Versionen im Fachhandel zu vertreiben.Known in practice, in the installation position, for example, with the rear of the Kleinspe cher housing to be mounted on a substantially vertical wall, two different housing concepts have prevailed. In the case of a housing concept, a shallow box with a rectangular outline is provided, the box bottom of which serves as an assembly rear wall and in which the small storage unit internal parts are mounted from the open side before a similar, shallow second box is attached from the front. The box edges of the second box are either inserted into the opening of the other box on the inside or put over them on the outside. The parting line is essentially vertical in the installed position. In the other, known housing concept, the inner parts of the small storage tank are inserted into a square box profile made of sheet metal, which runs vertically in the installed position, of which one side wall forms the rear wall of the assembly, and then upper and lower plastic slip covers are placed, which are in two in Grip essentially horizontally oriented parting planes outside over the opening ends of the sheet metal box section. These known housing concepts require relatively high manufacturing and assembly costs, also in order to achieve an at least largely splash-proof joint, and are expensive. The external appearance leaves something to be desired. In the first housing concept, the transition from the front plug-on box to the rear box, which forms the rear wall of the assembly, and which mostly consists of a different and also superficially different material, is clearly perceptible. In the second housing concept, the mixed plastic / sheet metal construction with the two parting lines is also clearly noticeable due to the significantly different surfaces and surface flatness. In addition, the splash water resistance in the lower parting area is difficult to ensure. A serious disadvantage in terms of sales strategy for both housing concepts is that the housing concepts do not offer any significant degree of freedom in versions of a model series based on the same or similar internal components of the small storage tank, without providing clearly recognizable differences without considerable cost. There is a need for the manufacturers of such small storage systems, in terms of market strategy, for model versions designed by different sales outlets to target specific consumer groups and to sell, for example, simple versions in hardware stores and upgraded versions in specialist shops within a model series at different price levels.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Warmwasserspeicher, insbesondere Kleinspeicher, der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, der ein kostengünstig zu realisierendes Gehäusekonzept aufweist, mit dem sich ohne nennenswerten Mehraufwand ein ansprechendes äußeres Erscheinungsbild erzielen lässt, und das Erscheinungsbild im Hinblick auf marktstrategische Gesichtspunkte unterscheidungskräftig variierbar ist.The invention is based on the object of specifying a hot water storage tank, in particular a small storage tank, of the type mentioned at the outset, which has an inexpensive housing concept which can be used to achieve an appealing external appearance without any appreciable additional outlay, and the appearance can be varied in a distinctive manner with regard to market-strategic aspects is.
Die gestellte Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is achieved with the features of claim 1.
Durch den viereckigen Kasten, ähnlich einem viereckigen Eimer, und den die Öffnung des Kastens mit im Wesentlichen horizontaler Trennfuge verschließenden Deckel, lässt sich kostengünstig ein gefälliges äußeres Erscheinungsbild schaffen. Das Konzept ermöglicht verringerte Herstellungskosten und eine einfache Montage. Es braucht keine deutlich sichtbaren Material- und Oberflächenunterschiede zwischen dem Deckel und dem Kasten zu geben. Vorzugsweise bestehen der Deckel und der Kasten aus dem gleichen Material. Die Innenkonturen des Kastens und des Deckels sind für alle Modellversionen im Wesentlichen gleich. Die Außenoberflächen bzw. das Außendesign können jedoch mit einem weiten Freiheitsgrad so modifiziert werden, dass deutlich voneinander verschiedene äußere Erscheinungsbilder erzeugt werden. So kann beispielsweise eine über Baumärkte vertriebene Modellversion einen einfachen Kasten und einen einfachen Deckel aufweisen, während eine beispielsweise über den Fach- handel vertriebene, aufgewertete Modellversion einen äußerlich hochwertigeren Kasten und hochwertigeren Deckel bzw. ein aufwendigeres äußeres Design haben kann.The square box, similar to a square bucket, and the lid that closes the opening of the box with an essentially horizontal parting line, can be used to create a pleasing external appearance at low cost. The concept enables reduced manufacturing costs and simple assembly. There need be no clearly visible material and surface differences between the lid and the box. The lid and the box are preferably made of the same material. The inner contours of the box and the lid are essentially the same for all model versions. The outer surfaces or the outer design can, however, be modified with a wide degree of freedom in such a way that clearly different external appearances are produced. For example, a model version sold through hardware stores can have a simple box and a simple lid, while a model version sold, for example, by specialist dealers can have an externally higher-quality box and a higher-quality lid, or a more complex external design.
Bei einer zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform befindet sich in der Einbaulage des Kleinspeichers der Kasten unten, während der Deckel die oben liegende Öffnung im Trenn- fugenbereich verschließt. Die Montagerückwand wird von der Kastenrückwand gebildet, ohne dass ein optisch als unangenehm empfundener Übergang von der Montagerückwand in die Seitenwände des Gehäuses zu sehen wäre. Der Kasten und der Deckel können separate Kunststoff-Formteile sein und, vorzugsweise, durch wenigstens ein Scharnier oder einen anderen Verbindungsmechanismus miteinander verbunden werden. Dank der separaten Herstellung kann jede Gehäusekomponente nach Wunsch gestaltet werden, und sind baukastenartig viele Kombinationen möglich.In an expedient embodiment, the box is located at the bottom in the installed position of the small store, while the cover closes the opening at the top in the parting area. The rear wall of the assembly is formed by the rear wall of the box, without a transition from the rear wall of the assembly to the side walls of the housing that would be visually uncomfortable. The box and the lid can be separate molded plastic parts and, preferably, are connected to one another by at least one hinge or another connecting mechanism. Thanks to the separate production, each housing component can be designed as desired, and many combinations are possible in modular form.
Bei einer bevorzugten Alternative sind der Kasten und der Deckel in einem einstückigen Formteil, insbesondere Kunststoff-Formteil vereinigt und durch wenigstens ein integriertes Filmscharnier miteinander klappbar verbunden. Dies ist ein Gehäusekonzept, innerhalb dessen der Deckel und der Kasten optisch wie aus einem Guss wirken.In a preferred alternative, the box and the lid are combined in a one-piece molded part, in particular a plastic molded part, and are connected to one another in a foldable manner by at least one integrated film hinge. This is a housing concept within which the lid and the box appear to be made of one piece.
Das Gehäusekonzept mit dem Kasten und seinem Deckel bietet ferner den Vorteil, die weitgehende Spritzwasserfestigkeit im Trennfugenbereich mit einfachen technischen Mitteln realisieren zu können. Beispielsweise wird in der Trennfuge eine Dichtstruktur vorgesehen, die bei ordnungsgemäß verschlossenem Deckel wirksam ist. Beispiels- weise wird hier eine Nut/Federstruktur oder eine Labyrinthdichtungsstruktur schon bei der Formung des Kastens und des Deckels mit berücksichtigt. Hilfsweise können auch elastische Dichtelemente eingegliedert sein.The housing concept with the box and its lid also offers the advantage of being able to achieve extensive splash water resistance in the joint area with simple technical means. For example, a sealing structure is provided in the parting line, which is effective when the lid is properly closed. For example, a tongue and groove structure or a labyrinth seal structure is already taken into account when the box and lid are formed. Alternatively, elastic sealing elements can also be incorporated.
Günstig ist es, wenn der Deckel innen in der Kastenöffnung verriegelbar ist, vorzugs- weise mittels Rastelementen oder Schnapphaken. Die Verriegelung wird optisch an der Außenseite nicht wahrgenommen, verhindert aber den unsachgemäßen Zutritt zum Inneren des Gehäuses. Um den Deckel abnehmen oder öffnen zu können, werden, vorzugsweise, entsprechende Zugriffsöffnungen im Kasten und/oder Deckel vorgesehen, durch die mittels eines Werkzeuges oder dgl. die Verrastelemente lösbar sind.It is advantageous if the lid can be locked inside the box opening, preferably by means of locking elements or snap hooks. The locking mechanism is not visually perceived on the outside, but prevents improper access to the inside of the housing. In order to be able to remove or open the cover, corresponding access openings are preferably provided in the box and / or cover, through which the locking elements can be released by means of a tool or the like.
Bei diesem Gehäusekonzept lassen sich die Wasseranschlüsse des Kleinspeichers einfach im Deckel anordnen oder durch den Deckel nach außen führen, insbesondere dann, wenn der Deckel in der Richtung geöffnet oder abgenommen wird, in der sich die Anschlüsse erstrecken.With this housing concept, the water connections of the small storage tank can simply be arranged in the cover or led through the cover to the outside, in particular when the cover is opened or removed in the direction in which the connections extend.
Bevorzugt ist am Deckel wenigstens ein Bedienelement für den Kleinspeicher angeordnet. Die dafür erforderliche Gestaltung des Deckels lässt sich bei dessen Formung verwirklichen. Eine bequeme Handhabung des Kleinspeichers bei der Bedienung ergibt sich, wenn der Deckel eine in der Einbaulage frontseitige Abschrägung aufweist, die von der Deckeloberseite schräg bis zur Trennfuge verläuft und als Bedienfeld mit dem wenigstens einen Bedienelement gestaltet ist. Zusätzlich ist die Abschrägung ein optisch deutlich wahrnehmbares Unterscheidungsmerkmal. Die Abschrägung kann nämlich bei einer anderen Modellversion weggelassen werden, die dann äußerlich vollständig anders aussieht.At least one control element for the small store is preferably arranged on the cover. The design of the lid required for this can be realized when it is shaped. The small storage device is easy to use when operating the cover if the cover has a bevel on the front in the installed position, which slopes from the top of the cover to the parting line and is designed as a control panel with the at least one control element. In addition, the bevel is a visually clearly distinguishable distinguishing feature. The bevel can namely be omitted in another model version, which then looks completely different on the outside.
Alternativ kann das Bedienfeld in der Frontseite des Kastens angeordnet werden, und sich, vorzugsweise, bis in die Frontseite des Deckels erstrecken. Hiermit lässt sich ein anderes, typisches Erscheinungsbild für eine andere Modellversion realisieren. Grundsätzlich kann die Trennfuge als, deutliches Unterscheidungsmerkmal entweder optisch hervorgehoben oder weitgehend zum Verschwinden gebracht werden. Dies ist bei dem Gehäusekonzept mit dem Kasten und dem Deckel formtechnisch einfach zu verwirkli- chen.Alternatively, the control panel can be arranged in the front of the box, and preferably extend into the front of the lid. This enables a different, typical appearance for a different model version to be realized. In principle, the parting line as a clear distinguishing feature can either be highlighted or largely made to disappear. In terms of shape, this is easy to achieve with the housing concept with the box and the cover.
Anhand der Zeichnung werden Ausführungsformen des Erfindungsgegenstandes erläutert. Es zeigen:Embodiments of the subject matter of the invention are explained with the aid of the drawing. Show it:
Fig. 1 eine schematische Perspektivansicht einer ersten Ausführungsform eines Kleinspeichers,1 is a schematic perspective view of a first embodiment of a small memory,
Fig. 2 eine perspektivische Schrägansicht einer zweiten Ausführungsform eines Kleinspeichers, undFig. 2 is an oblique perspective view of a second embodiment of a small memory, and
Fig. 3 einen Teil einer Seitenansicht der Ausführungsform von Fig. 1.3 shows a part of a side view of the embodiment from FIG. 1.
Eine in Fig. 1 gezeigte erste Ausführungsform eines Kleinspeichers S weist ein Gehäuse G zum Unterbringen nicht gezeigter Kleinspeicher-Innenteile auf. Das Gehäuse G besteht aus einem im Grundzug viereckigen, oben offenen Kasten K, z.B. aus Kunststoff, und einem die obenliegende Öffnung des Kastens K verschließenden Deckel D, ebenfalls aus Kunststoff. Die Trennebene zwischen dem Deckel D und dem Kasten K liegt in der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Einbaulage zumindest weitgehend horizontal. Der Kas- ten K ist wie auch der Deckel D einteilig, gegebenenfalls sind der Deckel D und der Kasten K sogar in einem einstückigen Kunststoff-Formteil zusammengefasst und über integrale Filmscharniere 17 (Fig. 3) miteinander verbunden. Der Kasten K hat linke und rechte Seitenwände 1, 3, eine Frontseitenwand 2 und eine Rückseitenwand 4, die gleichzeitig als Montagerückseite ausgebildet ist und entsprechende Befestigungsein- richtungen 11 (Fig. 3) besitzt. Der Boden 5 des Kastens K ist geschlossen, so dass sich der Kasten K insgesamt als im Grundzug viereckiger, oben offener Eimer darstellt. Der Deckel D besitzt eine weitgehend ebene oder leicht gewölbte Oberseite 7 und eine frontseitige Abschrägung 8, die sich bis zur Trennfuge 6 erstreckt. Die Abschrägung 8 definiert ein Bedienfeld 10, in dem wenigstens ein Bedienelement 11 des Kleinspei- chers S angeordnet ist. Im Deckel D sind beispielsweise Wasseranschlüsse 9 vorgesehen, z.B. in eingeformten Durchführungen. Der Deckel D kann mit dem Kasten K aufklappbar verbunden sein, z.B. seitlich nach oben oder nach hinten oben, wobei Scharniere 17 im Verbindungsbereich montiert sind (Fig. 3). Es ist alternativ möglich, den Deckel D vollständig abnehmbar anzubringen und über einen oberen Falz um die Öffnung des Kastens K zu stülpen oder in einen oberen Falz einzusetzen (im letztgenannten Fall würde die Trennfuge optisch kaschiert oder zum Verschwinden gebracht).A first embodiment of a small store S shown in FIG. 1 has a housing G for accommodating small store inner parts (not shown). The housing G consists of a box K which is quadrangular and open at the top, for example made of plastic, and a cover D which closes the opening above the box K, likewise made of plastic. The parting plane between the lid D and the box K is at least largely horizontal in the installation position shown in FIG. 1. The Cas- Like the cover D, ten K is in one piece, if appropriate the cover D and the box K are even combined in a one-piece plastic molded part and connected to one another via integral film hinges 17 (FIG. 3). The box K has left and right side walls 1, 3, a front side wall 2 and a rear side wall 4, which at the same time is designed as an assembly rear side and has corresponding fastening devices 11 (FIG. 3). The bottom 5 of the box K is closed, so that the box K as a whole is basically a square bucket which is open at the top. The lid D has a largely flat or slightly curved upper side 7 and a bevel 8 on the front, which extends to the parting line 6. The bevel 8 defines a control panel 10 in which at least one control element 11 of the small memory S is arranged. For example, water connections 9 are provided in the cover D, for example in molded bushings. The lid D can be hingedly connected to the box K, for example laterally upwards or backwards upwards, with hinges 17 being mounted in the connection area (FIG. 3). It is alternatively possible to attach the cover D completely detachably and to put it over an upper fold around the opening of the box K or to insert it into an upper fold (in the latter case, the parting line would be optically concealed or made to disappear).
In der anderen Ausführungsform in Fig. 2 hat der Deckel D eine ebene Oberseite 7 und eine vertikale Frontseite 18. Die beiden, die Frontseite des Kastens K und die Frontsei- te 18 des Deckels D seitlich begrenzenden Vertikal-Ränder des Gehäuses G sind in Bereichen 8' gerundet oder abgeschrägt. Das Bedienfeld 10' ist mit dem Bedienelement 11 in der Frontseite 2 des Kastens K angeordnet und erstreckt sich, vorzugsweise, bis zur Oberseite 7' des Deckels D, d.h., auch über die Frontseite 18 des Deckels D.In the other embodiment in FIG. 2, the cover D has a flat upper side 7 and a vertical front side 18. The two vertical edges of the housing G which laterally delimit the front side of the box K and the front side 18 of the cover D are in regions 8 'rounded or beveled. The control panel 10 'is arranged with the control element 11 in the front 2 of the box K and preferably extends to the top 7' of the lid D, i.e. also over the front 18 of the lid D.
Die Trennfuge 6' ist hier kaum sichtbar ausgebildet. Der Deckel D könnte auch in einen oberen Falz des Kastens K eingesetzt sein, so dass die Trennfuge 6' seitlich von außen nicht zu sehen ist. Der Deckel D wird in Fig. 2 über wenigstens ein Filmscharnier oder eingesetzte Scharniere 17 klappbar mit dem Kasten K verbunden oder er lässt sich vollständig abnehmen.The parting line 6 'is barely visible here. The cover D could also be inserted into an upper fold of the box K, so that the parting line 6 'cannot be seen from the side from the outside. The lid D is hingedly connected to the box K in FIG. 2 via at least one film hinge or inserted hinges 17, or it can be removed completely.
In Fig. 3 ist im Bereich der Trennfuge 6 eine Dichtstruktur 12 gezeigt, die, vorzugsweise, integral in den Kasten K und/oder den Deckel D eingeformt ist. Beispielsweise kann ein Nut/Feder-Eingriff in der Dichtstruktur 12 vorgesehen sein, wie durch die Nut- und Federelemente 13, 14 angedeutet. Gegebenenfalls ist auch eine elastische Dichtung in diesem Bereich vorgesehen. Alternativ könnte auch eine Labyrinthdichtung durch das Zusammenwirken des Deckels D mit dem Kasten K gebildet werden.3 shows a sealing structure 12 in the region of the parting line 6, which, preferably, is integrally molded into the box K and / or the cover D. For example a tongue and groove engagement can be provided in the sealing structure 12, as indicated by the tongue and groove elements 13, 14. If necessary, an elastic seal is also provided in this area. Alternatively, a labyrinth seal could also be formed by the interaction of the cover D with the box K.
Der Deckel D ist in Fig. 3 über ein Filmscharnier oder ein montiertes Scharnier 17 mit dem Kasten K aufklappbar verbunden. Das Filmscharnier oder das Scharnier 17 könnte auch weiter innen als gezeigt platziert sein, um zu vermeiden, dass beim Öffnen des Deckels D dessen Hinterkante zu weit über die Rückseite 4 vortritt. Bei einer einfachen Ausführungsform könnte der Kasten K im Öffnungsbereich innen eine Einstecktasche für einen entsprechenden Ansatz am Deckel D haben. Der Deckel D ist zweckmäßig im Bereich der Seitenwände 1 , 3 und/oder der Frontwand 2 mit dem Kasten K über Rastelemente V gegen unbefugtes Öffnen verriegelt, z.B. mittels Schnapphaken 15, wobei eine Zugriffsöffnung 16 das Lösen des jeweiligen Rastelements V zum Öffnen des Deckels D ermöglicht, beispielsweise mittels eines Werkzeuges. The lid D is hinged to the box K in FIG. 3 via a film hinge or a mounted hinge 17. The film hinge or the hinge 17 could also be placed further inside than shown in order to avoid that when the cover D is opened the rear edge thereof protrudes too far beyond the rear side 4. In a simple embodiment, the box K in the opening area could have an insert pocket for a corresponding attachment on the lid D. The lid D is expediently locked in the area of the side walls 1, 3 and / or the front wall 2 with the box K via locking elements V against unauthorized opening, e.g. by means of snap hooks 15, an access opening 16 enabling the respective locking element V to be released to open the cover D, for example by means of a tool.
