Die elektrischen Heizelemente dienen erfindungsgemäß zur Bildung einer Heizzone und die isolierenden Elemente zur Bildung eines nicht wärmeerzeugenden Bereichs bei anliegender Spannung zwischen den beiden Kontaktblechen. Die Funktion der Kontaktbleche kann auch direkt durch die wärmeübertragende Fläche vergrößernde Wellrippen oder Bereichen hiervon übernommen werden. Dadurch, dass mindestens ein zwischen zwei Kontaktblechen, in dem kein Heizelement angeordnet ist, und mindestens ein anderer Bereich zwischen diesen Kontaktblechen mit mindestens einem Heizelementen vorgesehen sind, lassen sich beheizbare und nicht beheizbare Zonen erzeugen. Durch geschickte Anordnung und elektrische Kontaktierung können die einzelnen Bereiche überschneidend angeordnet und dennoch unabhängig voneinander regelbar ausgebildet sein, so dass sich eine Heizungsvorrichtung mit verschiedenen, unabhängig voneinander beheizbaren Zonen ergibt. Ferner lässt sich eine Mehrzahl von beheizbaren Zonen von einer Seite der Heizungsvorrichtung aus elektrisch kontaktieren, so dass sich unter anderem auch Vorteile in Bezug auf den Bauraum ergeben.According to the invention, an electric heating device is provided, in particular for a motor vehicle, having a heat transfer area for transferring the heat generated to a fluid flowing through the electric heating device, in particular preferably air, wherein Heat transfer region a number of arranged between contact plates, electric heating elements, in particular PTC elements, particularly preferably ceramic PTC elements or plastic PTC elements, provided, and disposed between two contact plates in addition to at least one electrical heating element at least one electrically insulating element.

Characterized in that at least one between two contact plates, in which no heating element is arranged, and at least one other area between these contact plates are provided with at least one heating elements, can be heated and unheated zones produce. By skillful arrangement and electrical contacting the individual areas can be arranged overlapping and yet be designed independently controllable, so that there is a heating device with different, independently heated zones. Furthermore, a plurality of heatable zones can be electrically contacted from one side of the heating device, so that, inter alia, there are also advantages in terms of installation space.
Vorzugsweise weist das isolierende Element maximal die gleiche Abmessung wie das elektrische Heizelement in Richtung der Kontaktbleche auf. Besonders bevorzugt sind Heizelemente und isolierende Elemente mit gleichen Abmessungen in allen Richtungen ausgebildet.Preferably, the insulating element has at most the same dimension as the electric heating element in the direction of the contact sheets. Particularly preferred heating elements and insulating elements are formed with the same dimensions in all directions.
Vorzugsweise ist mindestens ein isolierendes Element und mindestens ein Heizelement, insbesondere bevorzugt ein PTC-Element, zwischen zwei Kontaktbleche eingeklebt. Es können auch Gruppen mit mehr als einem PTC-Element und/oder isolierendem Element vorgesehen sein, vorzugsweise jedoch Zweier- und/oder Dreiergruppen. Durch das Vorsehen von Klebeverbindungen lässt sich auf sehr kostengünstige und einfache Weise eine derartige Heizungsvorrichtung bauen. Besonders bevorzugt bilden einzelne Elemente, wie die Heizelemente, isolierenden Elemente und Kontaktbleche, Baugruppen, welche bevorzugt Symmetrien aufweisen.Preferably, at least one insulating element and at least one heating element, in particular preferably a PTC element, is glued in between two contact sheets. It can also be groups with more than one PTC element and / or insulating element, but preferably two and / or three groups. By providing adhesive bonds can be built in a very inexpensive and simple way, such a heating device. Particular preference is given to individual elements, such as the heating elements, insulating elements and contact plates, assemblies which preferably have symmetries.
Die Heizungsvorrichtung weist vorzugsweise mindestens zwei, insbesondere vier oder mehr Zonen auf. Die Zonen sind hierbei vorzugsweise in einzelnen Reihen und/oder Spalten angeordnet, wobei vorzugsweise in Längsrichtung eines Kontaktblechs zwei Zonen auf einer Seite angeordnet sind.The heating device preferably has at least two, in particular four or more zones. In this case, the zones are preferably arranged in individual rows and / or columns, two zones preferably being arranged on one side in the longitudinal direction of a contact sheet.
Durch das Vorsehen von isolierenden Elementen im Netz selbst können zudem Kurzschlüsse in Folge von Verformungen einzelner Bereiche des Netzes, bspw. von Kontaktblechen, sicher vermieden werden.By providing insulating elements in the network itself, it is also possible to reliably avoid short circuits as a result of deformations of individual areas of the network, for example contact sheets.

Durch das Vorsehen von isolierenden Elementen zwischen den Kontaktblechen kann somit auf relativ einfache Weise eine festere Verbindung erzeugt werden, da die isolierenden Elemente besser und einfacher in Bezug auf eine Klebeverbindung vorbereitet werden können als die PTC-Elemente, insbesondere im Falle von Keramik-PTC-Elementen. Somit wird das gesamte, mittels Kleben verbundene Netz stabiler.The insulating element is preferably glued directly between two contact sheets.

Die Unebenheit kann durch größere und/oder kleinere Strukturen gebildet sein. Insbesondere kann die Fläche aufgerauht, mit regelmäßigen und/oder unregelmäßigen Riefen, Kanälen, Wellenstrukturen, Noppenstrukturen, Einprägungen, Löchern und/oder Öffnungen versehen sein.In order to increase the adhesive effect of the adhesive on the contact surface of the insulating element, this contact surface is preferably formed uneven. The unevenness can be formed by larger and / or smaller structures. In particular, the surface may be roughened, provided with regular and / or irregular grooves, channels, wave structures, studded structures, impressions, holes and / or openings.

Alternativ kann das isolierende Element auch mit mindestens einem Zapfen oder mindestens einem anderen, entsprechend wirkenden Vorsprung versehen sein, der in eine Öffnung in das Kontaktblech eingeführt ist. Auch in diesem Fall können Vorsprünge auf beiden Kontaktflächenseiten des isolierenden Elements vorgesehen sein, so dass sie die beiden Kontaktbleche bei entsprechender Abmessungs- und Materialwahl zusammenhalten oder zumindest die Klebeverbindungen unterstützen. Die Verbindung kann auch clipsartig ausgebildet sein, d.h. am isolierenden Element ist mindestens ein Federarm mit Haken o.ä. ausgebildet, der während des Zusammensetzens kurzfristig elastisch verformt wird und im zusammengebauten Zustand das Kontaktblech hintergreift und dadurch am isolierenden Element sichert.For a positive connection, the insulating element is preferably formed with arms which laterally vorbeir on a contact plate.

Um die vier Zonen zu bilden, sind vorliegend an zwei der Kontaktbleche 5, im Folgenden auch mit dem Bezugszeichen 5' bezeichnet, jeweils vier PTC-Elemente 3 und vier isolierende Elemente 4 angeordnet, wobei jeweils zwei PTC-Elemente 3 benachbart zueinander auf einer Seite angeordnet sind, gegenüberliegend einer Zweiergruppe von isolierenden Elementen 4, so dass sich eine Art schachbrettartige Verteilung der Zweiergruppen ergibt.In order to form the four zones, four
Die Kontaktbleche 5', die zwischen den PTC-Elementen 3 und den isolierenden Elementen 4 angeordnet sind, dienen der elektrischen Kontaktierung und somit der Stromversorgung und damit der Wärmeerzeugung der PTC-Elemente 3, die in Kontakt mit denselben stehen, sofern ein Stromfluss möglich ist. Auf der anderen, von dem Kontaktblech 5' beabstandeten Seite der PTC-Elemente 3 und der isolierenden Elemente ist jeweils ein weiteres Kontaktblech 5" angeordnet, welches im Wesentlichen der Erhöhung der Festigkeit dient sowie eine Wärme- und Stromdurchleitfunktion aufweist. Vorliegend dient es nicht der direkten elektrischen Kontaktierung von außen. Auf der von den PTC-Elementen 3 und den isolierenden Elementen 4 beabstandeten Seite der Kontaktbleche 5" ist jeweils eine Wellrippe 2 angeordnet. Prinzipiell könnte das Kontaktblech 5" auch entfallen, so dass die Wellrippen direkt an den Elementen 3 und 4 angebracht sein können.The contact plates 5 ', which are arranged between the
Auf der von den Kontaktblechen 5" beabstandeten Seite der Wellrippen 2 ist jeweils ein weiteres, der elektrischen Kontaktierung dienendes Kontaktblech 5'" angeordnet. Die Kontaktbleche 5' und 5"', welche der Stromein- und - ableitung dienen, sind länger als die Kontaktbleche 5" ausgebildet, wobei sie auf einer Seite über die Heizfläche hinausstehen, um die elektrische Kontaktierung zu ermöglichen.On the side of the
Vorzugsweise entspricht die Breite der Elemente 3 und 4 maximal derjenigen der Kontaktbleche 5, insbesondere bevorzugt ist sie etwas geringer, so dass im zusammengebauten Zustand außenseitig ein kleiner Rand vorgesehen ist. Die Länge der PTC-Elemente 3 und der isolierenden Elemente kann beliebig gewählt werden. Die Dicke der Elemente 3 und 4 entspricht sich bevorzugt, wobei ggf. die isolierenden Elemente 4, um eine dickere Klebeschicht als bei den PTC-Elementen 3 vorsehen zu können, auch etwas dünner ausgebildet sein können. Die mittlere Dicke, d.h. die Dicke unter Berücksichtigung der unebenen Oberfläche, der isolierenden Elemente 4 ist bevorzugt etwas kleiner als die Dicke der PTC-Elemente 3.Preferably, the width of the
Die Kontaktbleche 5, die PTC-Elemente 3, die isolierenden Elemente 4 und die Wellrippen 2 sind vorliegend miteinander verklebt. Um die Klebeverbindung zu verbessern, ist die Kontaktfläche zumindest der isolierenden Elemente 4 aufgerauht, so dass der Kleber besser haften kann und zumindest bereichsweise eine ausreichende, aber nicht zu große Filmdicke gewährleistet werden kann. Eine Unebenheit der Kontaktfläche der isolierenden Elemente kann auch durch das Vorsehen von regelmäßigen und/oder unregelmäßigen Riefen, Kanälen, Wellenstrukturen, Noppenstrukturen, Einprägungen, Löchern, Öffnungen o.ä. erzeugt werden.The
Um einen möglichst einfachen Aufbau mit gleichen Baugruppen zu ermöglichen, ist der Aufbau insgesamt spiegelbildlich zu einem mittleren Kontaktblech 5 angeordnet. Dies ermöglicht zudem eine relativ einfache elektrische Kontaktierung, so dass bei der in
Eine im Wesentlichen aus entsprechenden Baugruppen aufgebaute Heizungsvorrichtung 1 gemäß dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel, wie in
Die Heizungsvorrichtung 1 weist einen zweiteiligen Rahmen 6 aus Kunststoff auf, vorliegend aus PA66, der spritzgegossen ist. In den Rahmen integriert sind zwei Buchsen für Stecker für eine elektrische Kontaktierung vorgesehen. Mittig im Rahmen ist ein Steg ausgebildet. In dem Rahmen 6 ist eine Mehrzahl von die wärmeübertragenden Fläche vergrößernden Wellrippen 2, plattenförmig ausgebildeten, in Zweiergruppen angeordneten Keramik-PTC-Elementen 3, plattenförmig ausgebildete, in Zweiergruppen angeordneten, isolierenden Elementen 4 und Kontaktblechen 5 angeordnet, wobei zwei geklebte Baugruppen entsprechend den zuvor beschriebenen Baugruppen vorgesehen sind, die im eingebauten Zustand durch den Steg voneinander getrennt sind. Gemäß dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Abmessung der isolierenden Elemente 4 entsprechend der Abmessung der PTC-Elemente 3 gewählt, jedoch sind auch unterschiedliche Abmessungen möglich.The
Die elektrische Kontaktierung erfolgt, wie in
In
Eine Erhöhung der Zonenzahl ist in Breitenrichtung beliebig möglich. Ebenso könnten die Zonen durch das Vorsehen von beispielsweise zwei der beschriebenen Baugruppen für insgesamt nur zwei anstelle von vier Zonen eine vierstufige, zweizonige Heizungsvorrichtung bilden.An increase in the number of zones is possible in the width direction as desired. Similarly, by providing, for example, two of the described assemblies for a total of only two instead of four zones, the zones could form a four-stage, two-zone heating device.
Gemäß den zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen wurden als PTC-Elemente Keramik-PTC-Elemente beschrieben, jedoch können an Stelle von Keramik-PTC-Elementen auch Kunststoff-PTC-Elemente verwendet werden.According to the above-described embodiments, ceramic PTC elements have been described as PTC elements, but plastic PTC elements may be used in place of ceramic PTC elements.
Ferner wurden bei den zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen jeweils Zweiergruppen von PTC-Elementen und isolierenden Elementen beschrieben. Die Gruppengröße kann jedoch beliebig gewählt werden, vorzugsweise liegt sie im Bereich von eins bis vier. Ebenso kann sich die Gruppengröße und insbesondere die Länge der Elemente unterscheiden, wobei vorzugsweise die Gruppengrößen einer Elementeart und die Gestalt einer Elementeart gleich sind. Bei unterschiedlicher Ausgestaltung einzelner PTC-Elementegruppen können auch unterschiedliche Heizstufenaufteilungen erzeugt werden, bspw. die zwei Stufen 75% und 100%.Further, in the above-described embodiments, two groups of PTC elements and insulating elements have been described, respectively. However, the group size can be chosen arbitrarily, preferably in the range of one to four. Likewise, the group size and in particular the length of the elements may differ, wherein preferably the group sizes of an element type and the shape of an element type are the same. With different design of individual PTC element groups also different heat level divisions can be generated, for example. The two stages 75% and 100%.
