Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electric heater with the preamble features of claim 1.
  • Such a heater is for example from the EP 0 350 528 or the EP 1 564 503 known.
  • the conductor tracks for energizing the PTC heating elements are formed by metal strips, of which selected sheet metal strips are led out laterally from the housing, which is usually formed as a flat, provided substantially with the thickness of the layer structure frame. These over the peripheral edge of the frame laterally led out sheet metal bands form there contact tongues for connecting the electric heater to the power supply. This connection can also take place with the interposition of a plugged onto the contact tongues control or regulation element.
  • the present invention is based on the problem to provide an electric heater that meets the above-mentioned, partially conflicting requirements for economic production on the one hand and a good and reliable plug connection to the electric heater on the other hand.
  • the electric heater according to the invention differs from the generic state of the art in that the contact tongues are formed by stamped sheet metal pieces that are electrically selected Interconnects are connected.
  • the sheet metal strip which has been led out over the housing directly laterally to form contact tongues, ends within the housing, whereas the contact tongues projecting beyond the housing are formed by a separate component, namely a stamped piece of sheet metal which is connected to the conductor tracks in FIG the rule is electrically connected within the housing.
  • different material thicknesses for the conductor tracks on the one hand and the stamped sheet metal piece can be selected on the other hand to allow the simplest possible plugging a mating connector to the reeds without having to use too thick metal strips or the like as traces for the energization of the PTC heating elements.
  • the stamped piece of sheet metal and the selected track can in principle be connected to each other by various techniques. So it is possible to connect both components by welding or soldering. Also, an adhesive connection is conceivable.

  • Corresponding projections can alternatively also be provided exclusively on the metal strip forming the conductor track. Equally well corresponding projections can be provided both on the sheet metal strip and the piece of sheet metal. The projections serve for the specific electrical contacting of the two components in the overlapping length range. On these projections alone, an electrical contact between sheet metal strip and contact tongue should be done. This ensures that the current is introduced from the contact tongue in the conductor in a defined manner.
  • the spring element establishes a frictional connection of the two components, preferably, provided that these overlapping longitudinal sections have, by pressing the two components against each other.
  • the spring element can also be used to hold the sheet metal piece to the housing. This holder can be done directly by interaction of the spring element with the housing or housing parts.

  • the spring element can also be provided in a housing designed specifically for receiving the spring element, which is referred to below as a spring receptacle and which is designed such that it holds the spring element with little play.
  • the spring receptacle accordingly forms stops, against which the spring abuts in the event of a possible relative movement of the contact tongue inserted into the housing in order to limit this relative movement.
  • the housing comprises a housing lower part, which is substantially cup-shaped and the layer structure at least partially circumferentially sums, so that the layer structure can be positioned in a predetermined manner by inserting into the housing base.

  • the assembly described above is carried out after the layer structure consisting of heat-generating elements 10 and heat-emitting elements 12 has been introduced into the lower housing part 4 (see. Fig. 9 ). Thereafter, the free ends of selected metal strips 34, which serve to contact the heating block in the housing 2, within the spring receptacles 48 are free. In this case, the free ends 44 pass through the slot 50, but ends in front of the slot 15. In the insertion direction of the layer structure, the sheet metal pieces 120 are introduced into the respective slots 15, in such a way that formed on the peripheral edge of the housing base projection 128 in the Groove 126 engages. This position is in Fig. 9 shown.
  • Sheet metal piece 120 extends in the longitudinal direction, that is, in the extension direction of the layers of the layer structure into the rear slot 50 and passes through the front slot 15, as the FIG. 3 can be seen. Thereafter, the spring clip 46 is inserted from above into the spring receptacle 48. In particular Fig. 3 can be seen, the lower housing part 4 is formed such that the spring clip 46 is fixed with little play in the spring seat 48.
  • the upper housing part 6 at the level of the slots 15 has a recess 36 which can receive the free end of a spring receptacle 48.
  • This concrete embodiment of the upper housing part 6 is due to the fact that the spring receptacle 48 projects beyond an edge surrounding the layer structure, the bsp. the inner surface 63 of the longitudinal beams contains.
  • the recess 36 of the upper housing part 6 is continued by a tapered recess 138, which, however, does not extend to the frame opening 16 of the upper housing part.
  • the upright plate piece 120 fits with its front side.
  • the closed end of the tapered recess 138 forms a stop for the piece of sheet metal 120th
  • the electrical contact between the sheet metal piece 120 and the sheet metal strip 34 takes place solely on the clamping force of the spring clip 46.
  • This is formed from a spring steel and causes a compressive stress of between 1000 and 1500N / mm 2 between the sheet metal piece 120 and the sheet metal strip 34.
  • the smallest distance between the convex contact surfaces 132 is at most 40% of the cumulative thickness of the sheet metal piece 120 and sheet metal strip 34.
  • the sheet metal piece 120 is formed of a good electrically conductive material, eg. a copper-tin alloy. At least the Aufsteckabêt 140, preferably the entire sheet metal piece 120 are in any case provided at their opposite side surfaces with a silver coating to effect the best possible contact on the one hand between the sheet metal piece 120 and the sheet metal strip 34 and on the other hand between the contact tongue 14 and the plugged connector element.
