Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Anschluss- und Verbindungsmodul insbesondere für Heizungsanlagen.The invention relates to a connection and connection module in particular for heating systems.

Bei Heizungsanlagen müssen mehrere Komponenten miteinander verbunden werden. Hierbei sind insbesondere die Montagefreundlichkeit, Dichtheit sowie die Herstellkosten von Relevanz.For heating systems, several components must be interconnected. In particular, the ease of assembly, tightness and the manufacturing costs of relevance.

Gemäß dem Stand der Technik werden Komponenten häufig über Kupfer- oder Messingleitungen miteinander verbunden und mittels Schraubverbindungen befestigt. Häufig erfolgt die Befestigung auch mittels Splinten oder Klammern. Anschluss- und Verbindungsmodule werden meist aus Blechverbindungen hergestellt.In the prior art, components are often interconnected via copper or brass leads and fastened by screw connections. Often, the attachment is also done by means of split pins or brackets. Connection and connection modules are usually made of sheet metal connections.

Die US 4 756 475 A zeigt ein Verbindungsmodul mit einer metallenen Grundplatte. Aus der EP 244 915 A2 und DE 196 23 807 A1 sind Verbindungsmodule aus Kunststoff bekannt, bei denen die Modulteile - mit oder ohne Zwischenlage eines Lotes - von außen erwärmt, bis eine Verschmelzung stattfindet.US 4,756,475 A shows a connection module with a metal base plate. From EP 244 915 A2 and DE 196 23 807 A1 connecting modules made of plastic are known in which the module parts - with or without the interposition of a solder - heated from the outside until a fusion takes place.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, ein Anschluss- und Verbindungsmodul zum Anschluss und zur Verbindung von fluidführenden Komponenten mit integrierten Strömungswegen zu schaffen, welches sich durch einfachen Aufbau und große Dichtheit auszeichnet.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a connection and connection module for connection and connection of fluid-carrying components with integrated To create flow paths, which is characterized by simple construction and great tightness.

Gemäß den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 wird dies dadurch erreicht, dass das Anschluss- und Verbindungsmodul aus Kunststoff hergestellt ist und aus mindestes zwei Modulteilen besteht, welche miteinander durch Reibschweißung stoff- und formschlüssig verbunden werden. Die Modulteile können beispielsweise im Spritzgießverfahren hergestellt werden und bilden zusammengefügt das Anschluss- und Verbindungsmodul. Die Modulteile verfügen über umlaufende Nuten und Federn an den sich berührenden Flächen. Diese Nut/Federsysteme werden beim Reibschweißen miteinander verschmolzen und bilden somit eine innige Verbindung.According to the features of independent claim 1, this is achieved in that the connection and connection module is made of plastic and consists of at least two module parts which are materially and positively connected by friction welding. The module parts can be produced, for example, by injection molding and together form the connection and connection module. The module parts have circumferential grooves and springs on the contacting surfaces. These groove / spring systems are fused together during friction welding and thus form an intimate connection.

Die Erfindung ermöglicht es zudem die Strömungswege derart voneinander zu separieren, dass in den einzelnen Strömungswegen unterschiedliche Druckniveaus herrschen können. Die daraus resultierenden Kräfte werden durch das erfindungsgemäße Kunststoffmodul aufgenommen.The invention also makes it possible to separate the flow paths from each other so that different pressure levels can prevail in the individual flow paths. The resulting forces are absorbed by the plastic module according to the invention.

Gemäß den Merkmalen des abhängigen Anspruchs 2 werden die integrierten Strömungswege durch entsprechende Konturen in den Modulteilen durch den Verbund der Modulteile gebildet. Typischerweise werden zwei Modulteile miteinander verbunden, wobei jedes Modulteil eine halbkreisförmige Rinne enthält. Nach der Verbindung der beiden Modulteile wird somit eine kreisrunde Röhre innerhalb des Anschluss- und Verbindungsmoduls gebildet.According to the features of the dependent claim 2, the integrated flow paths are formed by corresponding contours in the module parts by the composite of the module parts. Typically, two module parts are connected together, each module part containing a semicircular channel. After the connection of the two module parts thus a circular tube is formed within the connection and connection module.

Gemäß den Merkmalen des abhängigen Anspruchs 3 sind Anschlussstutzen zum Anschluss von fluidführenden Komponenten integrierter Bestandteil der Modulteile.According to the features of the dependent claim 3 connecting pieces for connection of fluid-carrying components are an integral part of the module parts.

Gemäß den Merkmalen des abhängigen Anspruchs 4 verfügen die Modulteile über Versteifungsrippen und / oder Verbindungsrippen, welche zur Festigkeit des Anschluss- und Verbindungsmoduls beitragen.According to the features of the dependent claim 4, the module parts have stiffening ribs and / or connecting ribs, which contribute to the strength of the connection and connection module.

Gemäß den Merkmalen des abhängigen Anspruchs 5 besteht das Anschluss- und Verbindungsmodul vorwiegend aus Strömungswegen, Anschlussstutzen und Versteifungsrippen. Dies hat zur Folge, dass die Materialanhäufung auf das Notwendigste begrenzt wird und das Anschluss- und Verbindungsmodul einerseits leicht, andererseits jedoch auch steif ist.According to the features of dependent claim 5, the connection and connection module consists mainly of flow paths, connecting pieces and stiffening ribs. This has the consequence that the accumulation of material is limited to the essentials and the connection and connection module on the one hand light, but on the other hand is also stiff.

Gemäß den Merkmalen des abhängigen Anspruchs 6 sind die Anschlussstutzen zum Anschluss von fluidführenden Komponenten an einer oder auch mehreren Seiten des Anschluss- und Verbindungsmoduls angeordnet.According to the features of the dependent claim 6, the connecting pieces for the connection of fluid-carrying components are arranged on one or more sides of the connection and connection module.

Gemäß den Merkmalen des abhängigen Verwendungsanspruchs 7 strömen in dem Anschluss- und Verbindungsmodul unterschiedliche Medien. Hierdurch ist es möglich, dass beispielsweise sowohl Trinkwasser als auch Heizungswasser in demselben Anschluss- und Verbindungsmodul geführt wird.According to the features of dependent use claim 7, different media flow in the connection and connection module. This makes it possible that, for example, both drinking water and heating water in the same connection and connection module is performed.

Die Erfindung wird nun anhand der Figuren im Detail erläutert.The invention will now be explained in detail with reference to the figures.

Figur 1 zeigt ein Anschluss- und Verbindungsmodul 1 mit den beiden Modulteilen 2, 3. Das Modulteil 3 verfügt über Anschlussstutzen 5. Figur 2 zeigt dasselbe Anschluss- und Verbindungsmodul im ursprünglichen Zustand, in dem die Modulteile 2, 3 nicht miteinander verbunden sind.1 shows a connection and connection module 1 with the two module parts 2, 3. The module part 3 has connection pieces 5. Figure 2 shows the same connection and connection module in the original state, in which the module parts 2, 3 are not connected.

Figur 3 zeigt das eine Modulteil 2 von der äußeren nicht fluidführenden Seite. Die Strömungswege 4 sind als äußere Schale zu sehen und verfügen auf Grund von Versteifungsrippen 6 und Verbindungsrippen 11 über eine große Festigkeit. Die Versteifungsrippen 6 sind auf der Außenseite der Strömungswege 4 angebracht, während die Verbindungsrippen 11 im freien Raum Zwischenräume überbrücken und somit zur Stabilität des Anschluss- und Verbindungsmoduls 1 beitragen. Die Strömungswege 4 beginnen bzw. enden mit Anschlussstutzen 5. Zwischen den unterschiedlichen Strömungswegen 4 befinden Verbindungsrippen 11. Figur 4 zeigt dasselbe Modulteil 2 von der inneren, fluidführenden Seite. Am Rande der Strömungswege 4 befinden sich die Federn 7, welche in die Nuten 10 des korrespondierenden Modulteils 3 eingreifen. Um Materialanhäufungen zu vermeiden, sind an großen Anschlussstutzen 5 Ausnehmungen 8 in das Modulteil 2 eingebracht. Ferner verfügt das Modulteil 2 über Aufnehmungen 9, z. B. für Muttern für Verschraubungen.FIG. 3 shows the one module part 2 from the outer non-fluid-carrying side. The flow paths 4 can be seen as an outer shell and have due to stiffening ribs 6 and connecting ribs 11 over a high strength. The stiffening ribs 6 are mounted on the outside of the flow paths 4, while the connecting ribs 11 bridge gaps in free space and thus contribute to the stability of the connection and connection module 1. The flow paths 4 begin or end with connecting pieces 5. Between the different flow paths 4 are connecting ribs 11. Figure 4 shows the same module part 2 from the inner, fluid-carrying side. At the edge of the flow paths 4 are the springs 7, which engage in the grooves 10 of the corresponding module part 3. To avoid accumulation of material, 5 recesses 8 are introduced into the module part 2 at large connection piece. Furthermore, the module part 2 has recesses 9, z. B. for nuts for glands.

Figur 5 zeigt das korrespondierende Modulteil 3 von der äußeren, nicht wasserführenden Seite mit den Strömungswegen 4, Rippen 6 und Aufnehmungen 9.FIG. 5 shows the corresponding module part 3 from the outer, non-water-bearing side with the flow paths 4, ribs 6 and recesses 9.

Figur 6 zeigt dasselbe Modulteil 3 von der inneren, fluidführenden Seite. Zwischen den Strömungswegen 4 befinden sich Nuten 10, in welche die Federn 7 des Teils 2 eingreifen.FIG. 6 shows the same module part 3 from the inner, fluid-carrying side. Between the flow paths 4 are grooves 10, in which engage the springs 7 of the part 2.

Die Modulteile 2, 3 sind im Spritzgießverfahren hergestellte Teile aus Thermoplasten. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, Polyamid zu verwenden. Die Modulteile 2, 3 werden derart zusammengefügt, dass die Federn 7 des Modulteils 2 in die Nuten 10 des Modulteils 3 eingreifen. Anschließend werden die Teile miteinander reibverschweißt. Typischerweise beträgt hierbei die Frequenz etwa 140 Hz, die Amplitude ungefähr 1,8 mm.The module parts 2, 3 are injection molded thermoplastic parts. It is particularly advantageous to use polyamide. The module parts 2, 3 are joined together in such a way that the springs 7 of the module part 2 engage in the grooves 10 of the module part 3. Subsequently, the parts are friction welded together. Typically, the frequency is about 140 Hz, the amplitude about 1.8 mm.

Typischerweise sind im Ausgangszustand Nuten und Federn derartig gestaltet, dass die restlichen Modulteile 2, 3 nicht plan aufeinander anliegen, sondern dass vielmehr eine Materialüberlappung der Nuten 10 und Federn 7 vorhanden ist. Beim Reibschweißen schmilzt die Oberfläche der Nuten 10 und Federn 7, wodurch es zu einer innigen Materialverbindung kommt. Nach dem Abschmelzen der Materialüberlappung liegen die restlichen Modulteile 2, 3 aufeinander plan auf. Durch die Schmelze findet ein Stoffschluss statt, so dass die Modulteile 2, 3 dichte fluidführende Strömungswege 4 schaffen. Nach dem Reibschweißen bildet das Anschluss- und Verbindungsmodul 1 aus den beiden Modulteilen 2, 3 eine dichte Einheit.Typically, in the initial state, grooves and springs are designed in such a way that the remaining module parts 2, 3 do not lie flush against each other, but rather that a material overlap of the grooves 10 and springs 7 is present. In friction welding, the surface of the grooves 10 and springs 7 melts, resulting in an intimate material connection. After the melting of the material overlap, the remaining module parts 2, 3 lie flat on each other. Through the melt, a material connection takes place, so that the module parts 2, 3 create dense fluid-carrying flow paths 4. After friction welding, the connection and connection module 1 forms a sealed unit from the two module parts 2, 3.

An das Anschluss- und Verbindungsmodul 1 können nun mehrere Komponenten angeschlossen werden. Üblicherweise werden diese Komponenten an den Anschlussstutzen 5 angeschlossen, wobei ein Dichtungselement - in der Regel ein O-Ring - zur Abdichtung der Komponente mit dem Anschluss- und Verbindungsmodul 1 verwendet wird. Die Verbindung wird dann mittels Klammern, Splinten oder Schraubverbindungen gesichert. An den Anschlussstutzen 5 werden einerseits Komponenten derartig angeschlossen, dass die Strömungswege 4 durchflossen werden, andererseits werden auch Sensoren zur Aufnahme beispielsweise von Drücken und Temperaturen an die Strömungswege 4 angeschlossen.To the connection and connection module 1 now several components can be connected. Usually, these components are connected to the connecting piece 5, wherein a sealing element - usually an O-ring - is used to seal the component with the connection and connection module 1. The connection is then secured by means of clamps, cotter pins or screw connections. On the one hand, components are connected to the connecting piece 5 such that the Flow paths 4 are traversed, on the other hand, sensors for receiving, for example, pressures and temperatures are connected to the flow paths 4.

Dadurch, dass die Strömungswege durch das Reibschweißen eine sehr hohe Dichtheit aufweisen, können in ein und demselben Anschluss- und Verbindungsmodul 1 mehrere unterschiedliche Medien durch die Strömungswege 4 strömen. Somit können sowohl heizwasser- als auch trinkwasserführende Komponenten an das Anschluss- und Verbindungsmodul 1 angeschlossen werden.Due to the fact that the flow paths have a very high degree of tightness due to friction welding, several different media can flow through the flow paths 4 in one and the same connection and connection module 1. Thus, both heating water and drinking water leading components can be connected to the connection and connection module 1.
