Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Heizkörper gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1. Heizkörper dieser Art sind aus der EP 844546 A1 bekannt.The invention relates to a radiator according to the preamble of claim 1. Radiators of this type are known from EP 844546 A1 known.

Bei mit einer Verkleidung, insbesondere an ihrer Vorderfront versehenen Heizkörpern, die mit Verstellventilen versehen sind, soll der Verstell- und/oder Thermostatkopf des Ventils von außerhalb der Verkleidung zugänglich sein, aber das ästhetische Gesamtbild und die Heizleistung des verkleideten Heizkörpers nicht beeinträchtigen. Bei den bekannte Lösungen wurde entweder die Verkleidung im Bereich des Verstell- und/oder Thermostatkopfes ausgenommen oder es wurde in der Verkleidung im Bereich des Verstell- und/oder Thermostatkopfes eine ausreichend große Ausnehmung vorgesehen, um durch diese hindurch den Verstell- und/oder Thermostatkopf erfassen zu können. Des weiteren soll der Heizkörper von vome bedienbar sein, da seitlich aus Platzmangel mitunter Schwierigkeiten auftreten. Auch Lösungen, um eine Betätigung des Thermostatventils durch die Verkleidung zu ermöglichen, sind bekannt.When provided with a panel, in particular at its front radiators, which are provided with adjusting valves, the adjustment and / or thermostatic valve head should be accessible from outside the panel, but not affect the overall aesthetic and heating performance of the paneled radiator. In the known solutions, either the lining in the region of the adjusting and / or thermostatic head was excluded or a sufficiently large recess was provided in the lining in the region of the adjusting and / or thermostatic head in order to pass through it the adjusting and / or thermostatic head to be able to capture. Furthermore, the radiator should be operated from vome, since laterally lack of space sometimes difficulties occur. Also, solutions to allow operation of the thermostatic valve through the panel are known.

Die bekannten Lösungen führen nur zu unbefriedigenden Ergebnissen, da sie aufwendig sind und es unbequem ist, durch eine Bohrung oder im Bereich einer Ausnehmung der Verkleidung, welche aus ästhetischen Gründen möglichst klein gehalten sein soll, hindurchgreifen zu müssen, um den Verstell- und/oder Thermostatkopf betätigen zu können.The known solutions lead only to unsatisfactory results, since they are expensive and it is inconvenient to have to pass through a hole or in the region of a recess of the panel, which should be kept as small as possible for aesthetic reasons, to the adjustment and / or Thermostat head to operate.

Ziel der Erfindung ist es, diese Nachteile zu vermeiden und einen Heizkörper der eingangs erwähnten Art vorzuschlagen, der einerseits eine bequeme Handhabung des Verstell- und/oder Thermostatkopfes ermöglicht und das Erscheinungsbild des Heizkörpers nicht beeinträchtigt. Femer soll die Lösung konstruktiv einfach sein.The aim of the invention is to avoid these disadvantages and to propose a radiator of the type mentioned above, on the one hand allows for easy handling of the adjusting and / or thermostatic head and does not affect the appearance of the radiator. Furthermore, the solution should be constructively simple.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Ziel bei einem Heizkörper der eingangs erwähnten Art durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 erreicht.According to the invention, this object is achieved in a radiator of the type mentioned by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Durch die vorgeschlagenen Maßnahmen ist es möglich, den Verstell- und/oder Thermostatkopf mit der Verkleidung vollständig abzudecken, wobei aber durch den Antrieb bei verbesserter Zugänglichkeit eine bequeme Handhabung des Verstell- bzw. Thermostatventils von vorne bzw. durch die Abdeckung sichergestellt ist. Dabei kann der Verstellknopf in beliebiger Weise handhabbar ausgebildet sein und auch als Komponente einer ästhetischen Gestaltung eingesetzt werden. Es kann eine übliche verdrehsichere Steckverbindung zwischen Welle und Verstellknopf vorgesehen sein, wodurch verschieden gestaltete Verstellknöpfe für ein und dasselbe Verstellventil für dessen Betätigung eingesetzt werden können.The proposed measures, it is possible to completely cover the adjusting and / or thermostatic head with the panel, but with the drive with improved accessibility convenient handling of the adjustment or thermostatic valve is ensured from the front or through the cover. In this case, the adjusting knob can be designed to be handled in any manner and also be used as a component of an aesthetic design. It can be provided a conventional twist-proof plug connection between the shaft and the adjusting knob, whereby differently shaped adjusting buttons can be used for one and the same adjusting valve for its operation.

Um eine gute Führung der Welle mit einfachen konstruktiven Maßnahmen zu ermöglichen, können die Merkmale des Anspruches 2 vorgesehen werden.In order to enable a good guidance of the shaft with simple constructive measures, the features of claim 2 can be provided.

Dabei können die Drehachsen des Antriebsrades und des mit dem Verstell- und/oder Thermostatkopf drehfest verbundenen Rades einen weitgehend beliebigen Winkel einschließen. Es müssen dabei lediglich die Zähne der Zahnräder in üblicher Weise entsprechend aufeinander abgestimmt sein.Due to the features of claim 4 results in a particularly accurate transmission of the rotational movement of the adjustment knob on the adjustment and / or thermostatic head. The axes of rotation of the drive wheel and the rotationally fixedly connected to the adjusting and / or thermostatic associated wheel can include a largely arbitrary angle.

Von Vorteil ist es, wenn das auf den Verstell- bzw. Thermostatkopf aufgebrachte Zahnrad in Form eines Zahnkranzes ausgebildet ist, der auf den Thermostatkopf mit Form. oder Kraftschluss aufgesetzt und/oder verklebt ist. Das Antriebsrad des Antriebes und das auf den Thermostatkopf aufgebrachte Antriebsrad können gleich groß ausgebildet sein, sodass diese Räder, insbesondere Zahnräder, mit ein und derselben Form hergestellt bzw. ausgebildet werden können. Im Zuge der Herstellung wird ein derartiges Zahnrad auf die Welle aufgesetzt, wogegen das andere Zahnrad mit einer dem Durchmesser des Thermostatkopfes entsprechenden Ausnehmung ausgebildet und auf diesen aufgesetzt wird.It is advantageous if the applied to the adjusting or thermostatic head gear is formed in the form of a ring gear, which on the thermostatic head with shape. or adhesion is attached and / or glued. The drive wheel of the drive and the applied to the thermostatic head drive wheel can be made the same size, so that these wheels, especially gears, can be made or formed with one and the same shape. In the course of manufacture, such a gear is placed on the shaft, whereas the other gear is formed with a diameter of the thermostatic head corresponding recess and placed on this.

Mit diesen Merkmalen wird erreicht, dass das Thermostatventil, insbesondere ein handelsübliches Thermostatventil, dessen Thermostatkopf mit einem entsprechenden Zahnkranz versehen wurde, mittels eines Trägers, insbesondere eines rechtwinkelig abgebogenen Flachprofilträgers, als eine Einheit bzw. Modul mit dem Antriebsrad des Antriebes erstellt werden kann. Dabei hält der Träger die beiden Antriebsräder in einer gegenseitigen Position, in der sie miteinander kämmen, sodass eine Montage des Thermostatventils mit seinem Antrieb am Heizkörper erleichert wird. Es ist lediglich erforderlich, das Thermostatventil mit seiner Mutter auf den Anschluss des Heizkörpers aufzusetzen und die Führung des Antriebsrades, das den Thermostatkopf betätigt, durch die entsprechende Ausnehmung der Verkleidung durchzuführen.Advantageously, the features of claim 10. With these features it is achieved that the thermostatic valve, in particular a commercially available thermostatic valve, the thermostatic head was provided with a corresponding sprocket, by means of a carrier, in particular a perpendicularly bent flat profile carrier, as a unit or module with the drive wheel of the drive can be created. The carrier holds the two drive wheels in a mutual position in which they mesh with each other, so that an assembly of the thermostatic valve with its drive to the radiator is relieved. It is only necessary to place the thermostatic valve with its nut on the connection of the radiator and perform the leadership of the drive wheel, which actuates the thermostatic head, through the corresponding recess of the panel.

Fig. 7 schematically shows the adjustment or control valve, in which the thermostatic head 4a carries the ring gear 4b, which meshes with its drive sprocket or drive wheel 5a. In the radiator near end of the valve is a Union nut 14 is provided, with which the control valve can be connected to a radiator. In this area, the valve carries a support member 10, which, as in Fig. 6 is shown having two angled parts 10a and 10b. With the part 10a of the support member 10 is attached to the valve. The other part 10b carries the drive wheel 5a and holds it in meshing relation to the drive wheel 4b.

Aus Fig. 6 ist zu ersehen, dass an einem am Regelventil 4 vorgesehenen Flanschteil 12 der Teil 10a des Tragteiles 10 mit einer Gegenplatte 11 festgeklemmt ist, wobei die Verbindung des Teiles 10a mit der Klemmplatte 11 in Form einer Schraubverbindung 13 ausgeführt ist.Out Fig. 6 It can be seen that at a provided on the control valve 4 flange 12 of the part 10a of the support member 10 is clamped with a counter-plate 11, wherein the connection of the part 10a with the clamping plate 11 in the form of a screw 13 is executed.

Die Welle 5d des Antriebsrades 5a ist durch die Verkleidung 2 durchgeführt; der Verstellknopf 5c ist nicht dargestellt.The shaft 5d of the drive wheel 5a is passed through the cowl 2; the adjustment knob 5c is not shown.

Bei dem Regelventil 4 handelt es sich vorteilhafterweise um bekannte, käuflich erhältliche Ventile, bei denen der Ventilkopf 4a nachträglich mit einem Zahnkranz 4b versehen wird. Dieser Zahnkranz entspricht in seinen Abmessungen und Dimensionen im Wesentlichen dem Antriebsrad 5a, sodass für die Herstellung der Zahnräder bzw. -kränze dieselbe Form verwendet werden kann. Es ist lediglich die Ausnehmung in den Zahnkränzen verschieden zu gestalten, um diese einerseits auf den Thermostatkopf 4a und anderseits auf die Welle 5d aufsetzen bzw. daran befestigen zu können.The control valve 4 is advantageously known, commercially available valves in which the valve head 4a is subsequently provided with a sprocket 4b. In terms of dimensions and dimensions, this sprocket substantially corresponds to the drive wheel 5a, so that the same shape can be used for the production of the sprockets or wreaths. It is only the recess in the sprockets different shape to put them on the one hand on the thermostat head 4a and on the other hand on the shaft 5d or attach it.

Der vorgesehene Tragteil 10 hält das Antriebsrad 5a durchwegs in seiner mit dem Antriebsrad 4b kämmenden Position, sodass ein Durchdrehen des Antriebsrades 5a sicher vermieden ist. Des weiteren ist das Antriebsrad 5a mittels der Hülse 5b auf dem Tragteil 10 gelagert, sodass die Anordnung einer Hülse in der Verkleidung 2 entfallen kann.The intended support member 10 keeps the drive wheel 5a throughout in its meshing with the drive wheel 4b position, so that a spinning of the drive wheel 5a is reliably avoided. Furthermore, the drive wheel 5a is mounted on the support part 10 by means of the sleeve 5b, so that the arrangement of a sleeve in the cover 2 can be dispensed with.

Es ist möglich, den Tragteil 10 auf verschiedene Weise auf dem Regelventil 4 zu befestigen. Der Teil 10a des Tragteils könnte auch in Form einer Schelle ausgebildet sein und an den Umfang des heizkörpernahen Bereiches des Regelventils angepasst sein.It is possible to attach the support member 10 in various ways on the control valve 4. The part 10a of the support member could also be in the form of a clamp and be adapted to the circumference of the radiator near the region of the control valve.

Prinzipiell ist es auch möglich, Befestigungselemente an der Verkleidung und/oder am Tragteil 10 vorzusehen, um zwischen diesen Bauteilen eine Verbindung zu erstellen.In principle, it is also possible to provide fasteners on the panel and / or on the support member 10 to create a connection between these components.

Ein Beispiel für Regelventile, deren Thermostatköpfe nachträglich mit Zahnkränzen versehen werden können, sind z.B. Thermostatventile der Firma A.B. MARKARYDS METALLARMATUR, so wie diese seit dem Jahr 1980 vertrieben werden.An example of control valves, the thermostatic heads can be provided later with sprockets are, for example Thermostatic valves from AB MARKARYDS METALLARMATUR, like these since 1980 to be expelled.
