Definitions

  • the invention relates to a structural unit for a compact heating system with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such units for compact heating systems count in a variety of construction versions of the prior art.
  • Such assemblies constructed of plastic injection molded parts are used to construct a compact heating system in a cost-effective and space-saving manner.
  • Such compact heating systems typically have two heating circuits, one for space heating and one for domestic water heating, which are supplied by a common primary heat exchanger with heat.
  • the recirculated heat transfer medium is conveyed on the suction or pressure side by a circulation pump, wherein the heating circuit for the space heating is constantly connected and is reversed only for service water extraction of the heating circuit.
  • an electric motor-driven changeover valve which has a pivot lever, at one end of a shut-off is arranged, which projects into the interior of the unit and the one or the other heating circuit shuts off or opens, and at the other end a drive for actuating the pivot lever attacks.
  • the drive is typically an electric motor with downstream spindle gear, which converts the rotational movement of the motor into a linear movement, which moves the outwardly projecting end of the pivot lever accordingly and in this way controls the valve.
  • Such a unit is for example off EP 2 397 777 A1 known.
  • the electromotive valve control has proven itself in practice, as in the case of a defect, be it the engine or the transmission, the drive unit can be replaced as a whole, without replacing the components that must be sealed against the heat transfer medium.
  • a certain disadvantage is that to replace the drive unit a relatively large space must remain within the unit or can not be used elsewhere within the heating system to allow this exchange. After releasing a securing bracket, the drive unit can be removed only in the axial direction of the motor or the direction of movement of the linear drive. Although in principle a disassembly in the transverse direction is possible together with the pivoting lever, but this requires an opening of the assembly, which is connected due to the then emerging heat transfer medium with a very high cost and only takes place if there is a defect in the valve.
  • Such a unit is also off EP 1 217 310 A1 known.
  • the drive that is, the electric motor can be pulled out with downstream spindle gear in the installed position to the front, either to exchange the drive motor or to better reach the underlying components can.
  • the spindle gear is mounted in a receiving clamp.
  • a disadvantage of this arrangement is that a large space for replacing the drive unit is required and that when replacing the drive unit, this not only from the receiving clamp to remove, but also the locking connection between the spindle end and lever to solve or restore is.
  • the present invention seeks to construct a generic unit so that on the one hand the drive for operating the pivot lever can be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled, on the other hand, this as compact as possible and free space in the unit or in the compact heating system can be integrated.
  • the assembly according to the invention is intended for a compact heating system with two acted upon by a common circulation pump heating circuits and has a switching valve for integrating the one and / or the other heating circuit in a delivery circuit of a circulating pump having a pivot lever, at one end of a shut-off and on whose other end a drive for actuating the pivot lever attacks.
  • the drive in the assembly on an operating position for the intended operation.
  • a mounting position in the unit is provided for the drive, in which the drive, or at least a part thereof, in the assembly and is removable.
  • the basic idea of the solution according to the invention is to provide two positions for the drive, namely an operating position in which the drive is typically arranged snugly against the unit and space-saving and a mounting position in which the drive is particularly well accessible from the outside, so this quickly and easy to install and remove.
  • the solution according to the invention thus combines the properties which are in themselves exclusive, namely a compactness of the structural unit with built-in drive, which is greater than the prior art, and good accessibility and interchangeability of the drive.
  • the drive between the operating position and the mounting position is pivotally mounted within the unit, so quasi folded in the operating position of the unit and folded in the mounting position of this, so that they are easily accessible on the one hand .
  • that is tangible, and on the other hand pivoted in a range in which typically the required space for installation and removal of the drive is present.
  • the drive is advantageous in the operating position close to the building unit and arranged in the assembly position at least partially bauajisfernfern. It can be almost completely used in the operating position of the space around the drive, only in the mounting position, a corresponding space is provided.
  • the drive is designed as a linear drive, that is, that it performs a linear movement, which can be used to control the pivot lever.
  • a linear drive is advantageously formed by a motor-gear unit which is coupled to an axially movable control, which is acted on the one hand by the motor-gear unit and which on the other hand is coupled to the pivot lever and which is spring-loaded in the device ,
  • Such an arrangement is particularly advantageous, since in this case the linear drive only has to be effective in one direction, ie an electric motor rotating only in one direction can be used.
  • the rotational movement of the motor is converted into a linear movement, for example, in which a reduction gear is provided, at the end of a control disk is arranged, for example, has a sinusoidal or other suitable curve, which moves the control accordingly axially more or less.
  • the return movement is advantageously done by spring force.
  • the control itself is motion-coupled at its end facing away from the motor-gear unit end with the pivot lever.
  • control can be formed by a plunger, which is mounted axially movable in a guide member, which is pivotally mounted on the unit.
  • the plunger is mounted, on the other hand, the motor-gear unit is supported within the unit and mounted pivotally.
  • the guide member on an abutment for a spring element which acts on the push rod to the motor gear unit towards force, so as to ensure the return movement of the plunger to the motor gear unit out.
  • the required spring force and the required spring travel can be generated by one or more suitable spring elements, such as leaf springs, coil springs, elastomer elements or the like.
  • the guide component In order to be able to receive the spring forces safely, it is advantageous for the guide component to be supported and held in a form-fitting manner in the structural unit at least in the axial movement directions of the tappet, but advantageously also in other directions.
  • the spring force can be applied by suitable spring elements, particularly advantageous for this purpose is a helical spring use, which is supported on the one hand in the guide member and on the other hand on the plunger and surrounds the plunger.
  • the guide member pot-shaped to provide a central opening in the bottom of the plunger, to which a follower surrounding the plunger guide connects starting from the ground, the peripheral wall has two diametrically arranged on the outside projections which open in one side recesses the assembly are received, in which the guide member is supported and pivotally mounted.
  • the openings are in the recesses arranged so that they lie in an unloaded direction, so that the projections can be passed at least in a pivoting position.
  • the guide member positive locking or locking means are advantageously manually controllable, so that after triggering e.g. a spring-biased lever or after overcoming a force of a latch, the pivoting from the operating position can be made in the mounting position.
  • an automatic locking or latching so that by simply folding the engine-gearbox unit not only transferred to its operating position, but is also fixed in this.
  • the unit For receiving the motor gear unit, the unit advantageously has an outwardly open and in cross-section U-shaped wall portion, which in the Schenkelwandungen each having a recess open on one side for receiving and supporting the guide member, and at one end of the motor gear unit is supported.
  • the form-fitting or locking means are provided in this area.
  • the assembly according to the invention can be used in principle suction or pressure side, it is particularly advantageous if it is arranged on the suction side and forms at least part of a pump housing in the suction chamber lines open, which are shut off or released by the shut-off depending on the position of the pivot lever.
  • the structural unit 1 shown in the figures has an injection-molded component, which forms a pump housing for a heating-circulation pump 2 and a change-over valve 3, comparable to that of FIG EP 2 397 777 A1 known housing unit.
  • the switching valve 3 is formed in a conventional manner and therefore not described here in detail, it is referred in this respect to the aforementioned document.
  • the switching valve 3 has a pivot lever 4, which is pivotally mounted within a housing component 5, which is sealingly incorporated by incorporation of a sealing body 6 of the valve 3 receiving sleeve 7 in a recess within the assembly 1.
  • the sealing body 6 forms the shut-off of the valve 3, he sits at the end of the pivot lever 4, within the assembly 1 and closes depending on the pivot position of the lever one or the other valve stub within the assembly 1, in a middle position are both open.
  • the other end of the lever 4 is fork-shaped and marked 8. At this free end of the lever 8, a plunger 9 by means of a provided at the end of the plunger 9 forceps-like coupling 10 is limited movable coupled.
  • the plunger 9 is mounted axially movable in a guide member 11 which is cup-shaped and has a central opening for the plunger 9, to which a plunger 9 surrounding guide 12 connects starting from the ground.
  • the likewise rising from the bottom of the guide member 11 circumferential wall 13 has two offset by 180 ° to each other outer sides projections 14 in the associated one-sided open recesses 15 in the leg walls of a U-shaped wall section of the housing part 5 are provided.
