The invention relates to a holding device for a heating element and a heater with at least one such holding device, in particular a tungsten heater.
CN 2896172 U offenbart einen Heizer für einen Hochtemperaturofen zum Sintern von Wolfram oder Molybdän. Der Heizer ist zylindrisch ausgebildet und weist mehrere Heizelemente in Form von hängenden Netzen auf. Die Netze sind jeweils mittels einer Haltevorrichtung im Ofen befestigt. Die Haltevorrichtung ist aus einem abgekanteten Blech hergestellt, das das obere Ende der Netze in Y-Form umgreift. Zwischen den Enden des abgekanteten Blechs ist ein weiteres Blech angeordnet, das mit den Enden des abgekanteten Blechs vernietet ist. CN 2896172 U discloses a heater for a high temperature furnace for sintering tungsten or molybdenum. The heater is cylindrical and has a plurality of heating elements in the form of hanging nets. The nets are each secured by means of a holding device in the oven. The holding device is made of a folded sheet metal, which engages around the upper end of the networks in Y-shape. Between the ends of the folded sheet metal another sheet is arranged, which is riveted to the ends of the folded sheet metal.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Haltevorrichtung für ein Heizelement und einen Heizer mit einer solchen Haltevorrichtung bereitzustellen, die bzw. der kostengünstig herstellbar und stabil im Gebrauch ist. It is an object of the invention to provide a holding device for a heating element and a heater with such a holding device, which is inexpensive to produce and stable in use.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 bzw. 11 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche. This object is achieved with the features of claim 1 and 11, respectively. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.
Gemäß Anspruch 1 wird eine Haltevorrichtung für ein Heizelement bereitgestellt, beispielsweise zur Verwendung in einem Wolfram Heizer. Die Haltevorrichtung ist aus einem Refraktärmetall oder aus einer Legierung auf Refraktärmetallbasis hergestellt, so dass sie hohen Temperaturen standhält bzw. auch bei hohen Temperaturen formbeständig bleibt. Mit einem Refraktärmetall oder einer Legierung auf Refraktärmetallbasis wird auf Metalle oder Legierungen Bezug genommen, die einen Schmelzpunkt größer gleich 1772°C (entspricht dem Schmelzpunkt von Platin) aufweisen. Die Haltevorrichtung weist zumindest zwei Halteelemente auf, die senkrecht oder im Wesentlichen senkrecht zueinander angeordnet sind. Beispielsweise ist an einem Halteelement ein Heizelement in Form eines Netzes oder Geflechts befestigbar bzw. gehalten, und mittels dem weiteren Halteelement, ist die Haltevorrichtung (mit dem Heizelement) in einem Ofenraum befestigbar. D.h. mittels der Halte Vorrichtung kann ein Heizelement in einem Ofenraum gehalten bzw. befestigt werden. Die beiden Halteelemente sind miteinander verbunden, wobei eines der beiden Halteelemente eine Öffnung oder ein (durchgehendes) Loch, aufweist in dem zumindest ein Teil des anderen Halteelements angeordnet bzw. According to claim 1, a holding device for a heating element is provided, for example for use in a tungsten heater. The holding device is made of a refractory metal or of a refractory metal-based alloy, so that it withstands high temperatures or remains dimensionally stable even at high temperatures. Reference is made to metals or alloys having a refractory metal or a refractory metal alloy which has a melting point greater than or equal to 1772 ° C (equivalent to the melting point of platinum). The holding device has at least two holding elements, which are arranged perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to each other. For example, a heating element in the form of a network or braid can be fastened or held on a holding element, and by means of the further holding element, the holding device (with the heating element) in a furnace chamber fixable. That is, by means of the holding device, a heating element can be held or fastened in a furnace chamber. The two holding elements are connected to one another, one of the two holding elements having an opening or a (through) hole, in which at least one part of the other holding element is arranged or
eingesteckt ist. Beispielsweise ist die Öffnung (vier)eckig oder rund, je nach Ausgestaltung des in die Öffnung eingeschobenen Teils des Halteelements. So wird am Ort der mechanischen Beanspruchung (d.h. am Ort der Verbindung der beiden Halteelemente) eine einfache und stabile Verbindung bereitgestellt. Insbesondere kann z.B. anstelle von mechanisch weniger stabilen abgekanteten Blechen, wie oben bzgl. CN 2896172 U beschrieben, Vollmaterial mit größeren Querschnitten verwendet werden, so dass eine stabile Haltevorrichtung breitgestellt wird, die einfach und schnell herstellbar ist. is plugged in. For example, the opening (four) is angular or round, depending on the configuration of the inserted into the opening part of the holding element. Thus, a simple and stable connection is provided at the location of mechanical stress (i.e., at the location of connection of the two retaining elements). In particular, e.g. instead of mechanically less stable bent sheet metal, as described above with reference to CN 2896172 U, solid material with larger cross sections are used so that a stable holding device is provided which is simple and quick to produce.
Bevorzugt ist ein erstes Halteelement zumindest teilweise in einer Öffnung eines zweiten Halteelements angeordnet, wobei das erste Halteelement mit dem zweiten Halteelement mittels Umformung verbunden ist. D.h. die beiden Halteelemente werden bei einerPreferably, a first holding element is at least partially disposed in an opening of a second holding element, wherein the first holding element is connected to the second holding element by means of deformation.

Temperatur deutlich unterhalb der Rekristallisationstemperatur miteinander verbunden. In einem beispielhaften Herstellungsverfahren wird das erste Halteelement in die Öffnung des zweiten Halteelements eingesteckt, so dass es auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des zweiten Halteelements herausragt. In einem anschließenden Schritt wird der herausragende Teil z.B. durch Taumeln kaltumgeformt, so dass die beiden Halteelemente sicher miteinander verbunden werden. Temperature well below the recrystallization temperature. In an exemplary manufacturing method, the first holding element is inserted into the opening of the second holding element, so that it protrudes on the opposite side of the second holding element. In a subsequent step, the protruding part becomes e.g. Cold formed by tumbling, so that the two holding elements are securely connected together.
Durch Schweißen bzw. durch die hohen lokalen Temperaturen während eines By welding or by the high local temperatures during a
Schweißvorgangs können am Ort der Schweißnaht Mikrorisse und Gefügeversprödungen auftreten. Um dies zu verhindern, sind besonders bevorzugt das erste und das zweite Halteelement nicht miteinander verschweißt.

Vorzugsweise ist zumindest eines der Halteelemente einteilig ausgebildet bzw. aus einem Vollmaterial hergestellt, d.h. nicht aus einem Blech. Beispielsweise ist zumindest ein Halteelement als Stab, Vierkant- oder Mehrkantprofil ausgebildet. Dadurch wird die mechanische Stabilität der einzelnen Halteelemente und damit der Haltevorrichtung erhöht. 5 Weiterhin wird die Herstellung der Halteelemente vereinfacht, da sie einfach und schnell z.B. durch Ablängen von Stangenware hergestellt werden können. Besonders bevorzugt sind beide Halteelemente aus einem Vollmaterial ausgebildet. According to one embodiment, the holding device is current-conducting, so that it can additionally be used as a power connection for a heating element which can be fastened to the holding device. Preferably, at least one of the holding elements is integrally formed or made of a solid material, ie not of a metal sheet. For example, at least one retaining element is designed as a rod, square or polygonal profile. As a result, the mechanical stability of the individual holding elements and thus of the holding device is increased. Furthermore, the production of the holding elements is simplified because they can be easily and quickly produced, for example, by cutting to length of bar products. Particularly preferably, both holding elements are formed from a solid material.
