Definitions
- the invention relates to an electric heater according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- Such electric heaters can be used, for example, in the blow-by system of internal combustion engines or for heating a tank of an SCR system (Selective Catalytic Reduction).
- SCR system Selective Catalytic Reduction
- resistance elements for example PTC heating elements are used, which are energized via the power supply lines of the contacting and as possible abut against a wall portion of the housing portion, so that the heat transmitted directly through the wall of the heating section and the adjacent wall of the component to be thermostated becomes. It is important that on the one hand to improve the heat transfer, a large heat exchange surface is present and further no insulating air gaps are arranged in the heat transfer path.
- the problem is that it may come to an insulating air gap in the area of the system of the heating element to the wall due to tolerances in the production and temperature fluctuations in the operation of the heater or the component to be heated.
- This disadvantage can only be ruled out if the fits for the heating elements supporting areas are very narrow, but then the installation of the heater due to the required tight fitting dimensions is relatively difficult, so that especially in the use of PTC devices the risk of Damage to the heating element is.
- the invention has for its object to provide an electric heater, in which an optimal heat transfer is ensured with simple installation.
- the electric heater according to the invention has a heating section which can be inserted into a receptacle of a component to be thermostated.
- the heater also has heating elements powered by power supply.
- the heater is designed with an activation pin, which is adjustable from a release position into an activation position. In the release position, the heating element is in a play-loaded mounting position in which the heating element is not or only slightly in thermal contact with the wall or in electrical contact with the power supply lines. By moving the activation pin in the activation position, the heating element or the power supply is adjusted to an operative position in which the thermal and / or electrical contact is formed substantially free of play and area.
- a heater in which the heating elements are initially arranged in a game-afflicted, not in a compact system on the wall to be heated or the power supply lines.
- the activation pin is adjusted, so that the heating elements are adjusted or moved into their operative position. In this way, the assembly of the Heater much easier, since the heating elements are initially taken up with relatively large game in the housing. In the activation position of the activation pin this game is then canceled, so that the desired thermal and electrical contact is made with very good heat transfer.
- the thermal and / or electrical contacting produced by virtue of the displacement of the activation pin is preferably accompanied by mechanical contacting, which ensures that the heating elements are pressed against the corresponding wall of the receptacle of the component.
- the Applicant reserves the right to claim this mechanical contact additionally or independently of the thermal and electrical contact. In this case, the mechanical contacting of the heating elements indirectly, i. via intermediate components or directly.
- the activation pin has an actuating projection projecting from a housing section and a heater-element-side activation section which comes into operative connection with the heating element for activating the heater by adjusting the actuating projection, wherein the activation pin can abut directly or indirectly on the heating element.
- the structure of the heater is particularly simple if at least one of the power supply lines is formed with a spring element which, in the active position of the activation pin, acts on the heating element in the direction of the wall.
- a spring element is attached to a power supply. This can be maintained, for example, via Crimplaschen the power supply.
- At least one of the power supply lines is resilient, so that by the spring action tolerance deviations can be compensated and a flat contact of the heating element is ensured in its operative position.
- the power supply can have an approximately U-shaped construction, wherein on a U-base, a spring effect providing concavity is formed.
- both power supply lines are resilient and / or formed with spring elements, via which, for example, at least one heating element in the direction of its operative position can be acted upon.
- the heater has at least two opposing heating elements, each associated with a spring element in the sense of the foregoing, wherein the activation pin dips in its activation position between the two spring elements to bias the heating elements by the spring force in the direction of the wall ,
- two heating elements are thus pressed against mutually opposite walls of the receptacle of the component to be heated, so that a significantly improved heat input with high power density can be realized due to the improved heat transfer surface compared to the cited in the introduction of the prior art.
- a variant of the invention provides that a total of four heating elements are provided which face each other in pairs and between which spring elements and an activation pin is arranged.
- the activation pin can be made of metal as a stamped and bent part with a folded activation section or made of plastic.
- the activation pin is fixed in position in its activation position by frictional or positive engagement with a further component of the heater, for example, the aforementioned plug part.
- This fixation can be done, for example, by latching, in which a tongue snaps into a recess of the activation pin or in kinematic reversal, a projection of the activation pins in a recess of the plug part or other housing-fixed portion of the heater.
- the electrical heater is designed with PTC resistor elements.
- An advantage of the described embodiment also that the heater is removable again. After deactivation of the activation pin, the heater is again powerless removable and can be replaced, for example, in case of service. However, it is important to ensure that the heater is not removed arbitrarily. It makes sense to use a special tool here.

- the power supply lines for contacting the heater 1 are arranged in this plug part 4.
- the heating section 2 is inserted into a receptacle or pocket of a component to be heated, for example an SCR tank, the heating section 2 lying flat against the wall of this receptacle so that a good heat transfer is ensured.

In the release position of the activation pins 20, the spring tongues 22, 24 engage in the recess 78 of the activation pin 20, this is thus fixed in position against accidental displacement. If one acts on the actuating projection 18 in the illustration according to FIG. 2 From the viewer forth with a thrust, so the resilient engagement of the spring tongues 22, 24 is released, so that the activation pin 20 can be moved in the direction of the heating section 2.

- each spring bridge 68a, 70a lying in the direction of viewing are visible, and the associated spring bridges 68b and 70b are in the view according to FIG FIG. 7 covered by the spring bridges 68a and 70a and in the view according to FIG. 6 not visible.
- At the lateral narrow edges of the upper transverse struts 60, 62 are each two recesses 61 a, 61 b formed in the mounted state of the Crimplaschen 56a, 56b; 58a, 58b are encompassed in order to connect the spring elements 52, 54 with the corresponding power supply lines 14, 16 mechanically.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen elektrischen Heizer gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an electric heater according to the preamble of
Derartige elektrische Heizer können beispielsweise im Blow-By-System von Verbrennungsmotoren oder zum Aufheizen eines Tanks eines SCR-Systems (Selektive Katalytische Reduktion) verwendet werden. Auf der Homepage der Anmelderin (www.dbk-group.de) sind Beispiele derartiger elektrischer Heizungen dargestellt. Demgemäß haben diese einen Heizabschnitt, der in eine entsprechend gestaltete Aufnahme des zu thermostatisierenden Bauteils, beispielsweise einen Tank oder einen Strömungspfad des Blow-By-Gases eingesetzt wird. Dieser Heizabschnitt geht in einen Stecker- oder Kontaktierungsteil über, in dem die Stromzuführungen für den Heizer angeordnet sind. Bei den bekannten Heizern werden Widerstandselemente, beispielsweise PTC-Heizelemente verwendet, die über die Stromzuführungen des Kontaktierungsteils bestromt sind und möglichst flächig an einem Wandungsbereich des Gehäuseabschnitts anliegen, so dass die Wärme direkt über die Wandung des Heizabschnitts und die benachbarte Wandung des zu thermostatisierenden Bauteils übertragen wird. Dabei ist es wichtig, dass zur Verbesserung der Wärmeübertragung zum Einen eine große Wärmeaustauschfläche vorhanden ist und des Weiteren keine isolierenden Luftspalte im Wärmeübertragungspfad angeordnet sind.Such electric heaters can be used, for example, in the blow-by system of internal combustion engines or for heating a tank of an SCR system (Selective Catalytic Reduction). On the homepage of the applicant ( www.dbk-group.de ) examples of such electrical heaters are shown. Accordingly, these have a heating section which is inserted into a correspondingly shaped receptacle of the component to be thermostated, for example a tank or a flow path of the blow-by gas. This heating section goes into a plug or contacting part, in which the power supply lines for the heater are arranged. In the known heaters, resistance elements, for example PTC heating elements are used, which are energized via the power supply lines of the contacting and as possible abut against a wall portion of the housing portion, so that the heat transmitted directly through the wall of the heating section and the adjacent wall of the component to be thermostated becomes. It is important that on the one hand to improve the heat transfer, a large heat exchange surface is present and further no insulating air gaps are arranged in the heat transfer path.
Problematisch ist dabei, dass es aufgrund von Toleranzen bei der Herstellung und Temperaturschwankungen im Betrieb des Heizers bzw. des zu beheizenden Bauteils im Bereich der Anlage des Heizelementes an die Wandung zu einem isolierenden Luftspalt kommen kann. Diesen Nachteil kann man nur dann ausschließen, wenn die Passungen für die die Heizelemente abstützenden Bereiche sehr eng gewählt sind, dann ist allerdings die Montage des Heizers aufgrund der erforderlichen engen Passmaße relativ schwierig, so dass insbesondere bei der Verwendung von PTC-Bausteinen die Gefahr einer Beschädigung des Heizelementes besteht.The problem is that it may come to an insulating air gap in the area of the system of the heating element to the wall due to tolerances in the production and temperature fluctuations in the operation of the heater or the component to be heated. This disadvantage can only be ruled out if the fits for the heating elements supporting areas are very narrow, but then the installation of the heater due to the required tight fitting dimensions is relatively difficult, so that especially in the use of PTC devices the risk of Damage to the heating element is.

Dem gegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen elektrischen Heizer zu schaffen, bei dem eine optimale Wärmeübertragung bei einfacher Montage gewährleistet ist.In contrast, the invention has for its object to provide an electric heater, in which an optimal heat transfer is ensured with simple installation.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen elektrischen Heizer mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by an electric heater with the features of
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Der erfindungsgemäße elektrische Heizer hat einen Heizabschnitt, der in eine Aufnahme eines zu thermostatisierenden Bauteils einsetzbar ist. Der Heizer hat des Weiteren über Stromzuführungen bestromte Heizelemente. Erfindungsgemäß ist der Heizer mit einem Aktivierungspin ausgeführt, der aus einer Freigabeposition in eine Aktivierungspostion verstellbar ist. In der Freigabeposition befindet sich das Heizelement in einer spielbehafteten Montageposition, in der das Heizelement nicht oder nur unwesentlich in thermischen Kontakt mit der Wandung oder in elektrischem Kontakt mit den Stromzuführungen steht. Durch Verschieben des Aktivierungspins in die Aktivierungsposition wird das Heizelement oder die Stromzuführung in eine Wirkposition verstellt, in der der thermische und/oder elektrische Kontakt im Wesentlichen spielfrei und flächig ausgebildet ist.The electric heater according to the invention has a heating section which can be inserted into a receptacle of a component to be thermostated. The heater also has heating elements powered by power supply. According to the invention, the heater is designed with an activation pin, which is adjustable from a release position into an activation position. In the release position, the heating element is in a play-loaded mounting position in which the heating element is not or only slightly in thermal contact with the wall or in electrical contact with the power supply lines. By moving the activation pin in the activation position, the heating element or the power supply is adjusted to an operative position in which the thermal and / or electrical contact is formed substantially free of play and area.
Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung wird somit ein Heizer geschaffen, bei dem die Heizelemente zunächst in einer spielbehafteten, nicht in kompakter Anlage an der zu beheizenden Wandung oder den Stromzuführungen angeordnet sind. Zur Aktivierung des Heizers wird dann der Aktivierungspin verstellt, so dass die Heizelemente in ihre Wirkposition verstellt oder verschoben werden. Auf diese Weise ist die Montage des Heizers wesentlich vereinfacht, da die Heizelemente zunächst mit vergleichsweise großem Spiel im Gehäuse aufgenommen sind. In der Aktivierungsposition des Aktivierungspins wird dieses Spiel dann aufgehoben, so dass der gewünschte thermische und elektrische Kontakt mit sehr gutem Wärmeübergang hergestellt ist.With the solution according to the invention thus a heater is provided in which the heating elements are initially arranged in a game-afflicted, not in a compact system on the wall to be heated or the power supply lines. To activate the heater then the activation pin is adjusted, so that the heating elements are adjusted or moved into their operative position. In this way, the assembly of the Heater much easier, since the heating elements are initially taken up with relatively large game in the housing. In the activation position of the activation pin this game is then canceled, so that the desired thermal and electrical contact is made with very good heat transfer.
Mit der aufgrund der Verschiebung des Aktivierungspins hergestellten thermischen und/oder elektrischen Kontaktierung geht vorzugsweise auch eine mechanische Kontaktierung einher, die dafür sorgt, dass die Heizelemente gegen die entsprechende Wandung der Aufnahme des Bauteils gepresst werden. Die Anmelderin behält sich vor, diese mechanische Kontaktierung zusätzlich oder unabhängig von der thermischen und elektrischen Kontaktierung zu beanspruchen. Dabei kann die mechanische Kontaktierung der Heizelemente mittelbar, d.h. über zwischengeschaltete Bauelemente oder unmittelbar erfolgen.The thermal and / or electrical contacting produced by virtue of the displacement of the activation pin is preferably accompanied by mechanical contacting, which ensures that the heating elements are pressed against the corresponding wall of the receptacle of the component. The Applicant reserves the right to claim this mechanical contact additionally or independently of the thermal and electrical contact. In this case, the mechanical contacting of the heating elements indirectly, i. via intermediate components or directly.
Bei einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung hat der Aktivierungspin einen aus einem Gehäuseabschnitt auskragenden Betätigungsvorsprung und einen heizelementseitigen Aktivierungsabschnitt, der zum Aktivieren des Heizers durch Verstellen des Betätigungsvorsprungs in Wirkverbindung mit dem Heizelement gelangt, wobei der Aktivierungspin mittelbar oder unmittelbar am Heizelement anliegen kann.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the activation pin has an actuating projection projecting from a housing section and a heater-element-side activation section which comes into operative connection with the heating element for activating the heater by adjusting the actuating projection, wherein the activation pin can abut directly or indirectly on the heating element.
Vorteilhaft ist auch, dass bei in Freigabeposition des Aktivierungspins ein elektrischer Gegenstecker nicht steckbar ist. Somit wird eine einfache Absicherung gegen Fehlnutzung realisiert.It is also advantageous that in the release position of the activation pin, an electrical mating connector is not pluggable. Thus, a simple hedge against misuse is realized.
Der Aufbau des Heizers ist besonders einfach, wenn zumindest eine der Stromzuführungen mit einem Federelement ausgebildet ist, das in der Wirkposition des Aktivierungspins das Heizelement in Richtung der Wandung beaufschlagt.The structure of the heater is particularly simple if at least one of the power supply lines is formed with a spring element which, in the active position of the activation pin, acts on the heating element in the direction of the wall.
Bei einer Variante der Erfindung ist ein Federelement an einer Stromzuführung befestigt. Dieses kann beispielsweise über Crimplaschen der Stromzuführung gehalten werden.In a variant of the invention, a spring element is attached to a power supply. This can be maintained, for example, via Crimplaschen the power supply.
Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist zumindest eine der Stromzuführungen federnd ausgebildet, so dass durch die Federwirkung Toleranzabweichungen ausgeglichen werden können und eine flächige Anlage des Heizelements in seiner Wirkposition gewährleistet ist.In one embodiment of the invention, at least one of the power supply lines is resilient, so that by the spring action tolerance deviations can be compensated and a flat contact of the heating element is ensured in its operative position.
Die Stromzuführung kann einen etwa U-förmigen Aufbau haben, wobei an einer U-Basis eine die Federwirkung bereitstellende Einwölbung ausgebildet ist.The power supply can have an approximately U-shaped construction, wherein on a U-base, a spring effect providing concavity is formed.
Erfindungsgemäß wird es bevorzugt, wenn beide Stromzuführungen federnd und/oder mit Federelementen ausgebildet sind, über die beispielsweise jeweils zumindest ein Heizelement in Richtung seiner Wirkposition beaufschlagbar ist.According to the invention it is preferred if both power supply lines are resilient and / or formed with spring elements, via which, for example, at least one heating element in the direction of its operative position can be acted upon.
Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung hat der Heizer zumindest zwei einander gegenüberliegende Heizelemente, denen jeweils ein Federelement im Sinne der vorstehenden Ausführungen zugeordnet ist, wobei der Aktivierungspin in seiner Aktivierungsposition zwischen die beiden Federelemente eintaucht, um die Heizelemente durch die Federkraft in Richtung der Wandung zu beaufschlagen. Bei dieser Variante werden somit zwei Heizelemente an einander gegenüberliegende Wandungen der Aufnahme des aufzuheizenden Bauteils gepresst, sodass aufgrund der verbesserten Wärmeübertragungsfläche gegenüber dem in der Beschreibungseinleitung zitierten Stand der Technik ein erheblich verbesserter Wärmeeintrag mit hoher Leistungsdichte realisierbar ist.In one embodiment of the invention, the heater has at least two opposing heating elements, each associated with a spring element in the sense of the foregoing, wherein the activation pin dips in its activation position between the two spring elements to bias the heating elements by the spring force in the direction of the wall , In this variant, two heating elements are thus pressed against mutually opposite walls of the receptacle of the component to be heated, so that a significantly improved heat input with high power density can be realized due to the improved heat transfer surface compared to the cited in the introduction of the prior art.
Eine Variante der Erfindung sieht vor, dass insgesamt vier Heizelemente vorgesehen sind, die einander paarweise gegenüberliegen und zwischen denen Federelemente und ein Aktivierungspin angeordnet ist.A variant of the invention provides that a total of four heating elements are provided which face each other in pairs and between which spring elements and an activation pin is arranged.
Der Aktivierungspin kann aus Metall als Stanzbiegeteil mit einem umgefalzten Aktivierungsabschnitt oder aus Kunststoff ausgeführt sein.The activation pin can be made of metal as a stamped and bent part with a folded activation section or made of plastic.
Bei einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird der Aktivierungspin in seiner Aktivierungsposition durch kraft- oder formschlüssigen Eingriff mit einem weiteren Bauelement des Heizers, beispielsweise dem vorgenannten Steckerteil lagefixiert. Diese Lagefixierung kann beispielsweise durch eine Verrastung erfolgen, bei der eine Zunge in eine Ausnehmung des Aktivierungspins oder in kinematischer Umkehr ein Vorsprung des Aktivierungspins in eine Ausnehmung des Steckerteils oder eines sonstigen gehäusefesten Abschnitts des Heizers einschnappt.In a further development of the invention, the activation pin is fixed in position in its activation position by frictional or positive engagement with a further component of the heater, for example, the aforementioned plug part. This fixation can be done, for example, by latching, in which a tongue snaps into a recess of the activation pin or in kinematic reversal, a projection of the activation pins in a recess of the plug part or other housing-fixed portion of the heater.
Erfindungsgemäß wird es bevorzugt, wenn der elektrische Heizer mit PTC-Widerstandselementen ausgeführt ist.According to the invention it is preferred if the electrical heater is designed with PTC resistor elements.
Vorteilhaft ist an der beschriebenen Ausführung auch, dass der Heizer wieder demontierbar ist. Nach Deaktivierung des Aktivierungspins ist der Heizer wieder kraftlos entnehmbar und kann beispielsweise im Servicefall ersetzt werden. Hierbei ist jedoch darauf zu achten, dass der Heizer nicht willkürlich entfernt wird. Sinnvoll ist hier die Verwendung eines Spezialwerkzeugs.An advantage of the described embodiment also that the heater is removable again. After deactivation of the activation pin, the heater is again powerless removable and can be replaced, for example, in case of service. However, it is important to ensure that the heater is not removed arbitrarily. It makes sense to use a special tool here.

Ist die Aufnahme des Bauteils aus metallischem Werkstoff ausgeführt, dient die Isolierfolie 6 als elektrische Isolierung. Daneben kann die Isolierfolie auch als Ausgleich leichter Unebenheiten in der Aufnahme des Bauteils dienen.If the recording of the component made of metallic material, the insulating
Ein besonderer Vorteil dieser Konstruktion liegt darin, dass eventuell vorhandene Fertigungstoleranzen und temperaturbedingte Maßschwankungen durch die erhebliche Federkraft der Federbrücken 74a, 74b ausgeglichen werden können, so dass stets ein hinreichender mechanischer, thermischer und elektrischer Kontakt gewährleistet ist. Darüber hinaus wird die Montage des Heizers 1 selbst und dessen Einsetzen in die Aufnahme durch das Spiel s erleichtert.A particular advantage of this design is that any existing manufacturing tolerances and temperature-related dimensional variations can be compensated by the considerable spring force of the spring bridges 74a, 74b, so that a sufficient mechanical, thermal and electrical contact is always ensured. In addition, the assembly of the
Prinzipiell lässt sich dieses Konzept noch weiter vereinfachen, wenn der Betätigungsvorsprung 18 des Aktivierungspins 20 als Stromzuführung wirkt, so dass dann die Bestromung nur bei Verstellen des Aktivierungspins 20 in seine Aktivierungsposition möglich ist.In principle, this concept can be further simplified if the
Das der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Bauprinzip kann leicht auf verschiedene Größen und Leistungen angepasst werden.The construction principle underlying the invention can be easily adapted to different sizes and benefits.
