Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing an electric heater, which has at least one heating element with at least one contact surface and at least one electrical resistance element which is arranged between the contact surface and a mating contact surface of a displaceable arranged to the heating element holding member, wherein the holding element with a contact pressure is pressed against the resistance element to hold it to the radiator.
- PTC Positive Temperature Coefficient
- the PTC element is Usually arranged on a heat-absorbing contact surface of the radiator and pressed by a mating contact surface of at least one retaining element against the contact surface of the radiator. This results in not exactly flat contact surface and / or mating contact surface areas where no direct physical contact and thus no heat exchange takes place. If heat does not flow evenly from the PTC element to the radiator, the PTC element can reach a higher temperature in some areas, which reduces the electrical current and decreases the maximum power.
- the contact force is increased at least in some areas so far that the resistance element breaks into at least two fragments.
- the inventive method with the features of claim 1 has the advantage that by breaking or crushing the electrical resistance element, the surface of the electrical resistance element, which is in thermal contact with the radiator, is increased. This allows in particular a uniform heat transfer from the electrical resistance element to the radiator. Free spaces or gaps which lie between the electrical resistance element and the contact surface of the heating element are better filled by the breakage of the resistance element. By distributing the broken parts of the resistive element between the contact surface and the mating contact surface, a larger contact area of the electrical resistance elements with the contact surface is achieved. Thus, the electrical resistance element substantially has an improved temperature distribution.
- the electric Heating thus becomes more efficient by passing more electrical energy used to heat the resistive element to the radiator.
- the otherwise disturbing, in particular production-related unevennesses on the contact surface and / or mating contact surface are utilized. This creates a break that is individually adapted to the radiator.
- the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface is provided or produced with at least one breaking projection.
- the advantage of this development is that this allows a targeted breaking, in particular simplified.
- the electrical resistance element is broken so that the distribution of the fractured parts is equal or nearly equal.
- the crushing projection can be arranged arbitrarily on the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface. Depending on the area which is to break preferentially under the contact force, a position of the breaking projection is selected.
- a plurality of crushing projections on the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface can be attached.
- the breaking projection preferably has a sharp, in particular pointed edge, in order to maximize the contact pressure on the electrical resistance element at the predetermined breaking point.
- the crushing projection is preferably formed integrally on the contact surface or the mating contact surface.
- the crushing projection or a plurality of crushing projections can be attached, for example, by a milling in the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface.
- the crushing projections are preferably arranged web-shaped. This makes it possible, for example, to attach parallel crushing projections.
- the respective breaking projection on the contact surface or the mating contact surface is formed by a projection projecting from the otherwise substantially flat contact surface or mating contact surface.
- crushing projections are preferably formed by one or more, in particular adjacent recesses in the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface, preferably introduced through a bore, milling and / or etching in the contact surface and / or counter-contact surface. This forms at the edges of the respective recess crushing protrusions out, between which lies the respective recess.
- the contact force is only partially increased until the resistance element breaks.
- the advantage here is that it is purposefully controlled which regions of the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface are pressed against each other and thus which regions of the electrical resistance element are to be broken.
- the pressing force is generated, for example, by a device which acts on the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface and, for example, has contact pressure elements which are arranged along a bearing surface of the device on the contact surface and / or mating contact surface.
- both the thermal contact and the contact pressure for comminution of the electrical resistance element is generated.
- the contact pressure elements are designed in particular as individually controllable push rods which are arranged perpendicular to the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface.
- the contact force is increased in succession in different areas, so that the resistance element is broken in succession in these areas.
- the electrical resistance element is deliberately broken successively at different locations.
- the contact force acts, for example, simultaneously on two different areas of the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface. After breaking the electrical resistance element in these two areas, the contact pressure is increased at another point. This makes it possible for an already broken region of the electrical resistance element to be subjected again to a contact force and broken again.
- the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface are each formed by a contact element, which in particular has a higher elasticity than the heating element or the holding element.
- the advantage of this development is that thus the production of the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface is simplified because the contact element is manufactured as a separate part and to the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface is attached.
- material which has preferred properties such as a certain material hardness or elastic deformability, is used sparingly. Due to the preferably increased elasticity, the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface adapts to the contour of the electrical resistance element when the contact surface moves in the direction of the mating contact surface.
- the contact contact surface of the electrical resistance element which bears against the contact surfaces and / or mating contact surfaces, further increases, which in turn ensures improved heat transfer.
- the respective contact element is made of an electrically and / or thermally conductive material.
- the advantage here is that thus the transmission of electrical energy and / or heat energy is additionally improved and more efficient.
- the electrical energy is transmitted, for example, from the contact element to the electrical resistance element to operate it.
- the contact element is made of metal or of electrically and / or thermally conductive plastic.
- the respective contact element with a comb-shaped Anpressgeometrie, which forms the crushing projections is formed.
- the comb-shaped Anpressgeometrie exerts only partially a contact pressure on the electrical resistance element to ensure a targeted breaking.
- the electrical resistance element is first pressed into the latter by the preferably elastic deformability of the contact element and then, if a mechanical load on the electrical resistance element is too large, this is deliberately broken by the crushing projections.
- the contact contact surface of the electrical resistance element, which is in electrical and / or thermal operative connection with the contact element, is thus maximized.
- the contact pressure is generated by a clamping device and / or by an electromagnetic pulse transformation.
- the clamping device can press, for example, with an adjustable, constant force on the holding element. If necessary, the pressing force is increased by the clamping device continuously or at least gradually to provide for breaking of the resistive element. After a successful break, the clamping device returns to a state where it presses with the adjustable contact pressure on the retaining element. Alternatively, the clamping device remains in the state in which it has generated the breakage of the electrical resistance element.
- the clamping device is screwed to the radiator and / or retaining element.
- the electromagnetic pulse transformation achieves individual deformation of the individual regions of the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface as well as of the electrical resistance element.
- the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface and the electrical resistance element consist of an electrically conductive material.
- the electrical resistance element and the contact element can be pressed against each other without contact.
- an electrical coil is needed and a powerful, pulsed magnetic field needed.
- the contact pressure can then be carried out without mechanical contact between the electrical resistance element and the contact element.
- the magnetic field acts in the electromagnetic pulse transformation unhindered by the material of the heater and / or the holding element.
- a PTC element is used as the resistance element.

With a supply of electrical energy, the PTC element 6 heats up. As the temperature of the PTC element 6 rises, its electrical resistance increases. As soon as the PTC element 6 of a maximum Temperature and thus approaches a maximum resistance, its electrical power consumption decreases.
- a contact pressure which presses the contact surface 3 and the mating contact surface 5 against each other and in FIG. 1 is shown with an arrow.

- the pressing force is applied uniformly to the PTC element 6 according to a first embodiment.
- the contact force is increased or reduced until the PTC element 6 breaks at at least one point.
- the PTC element 6 is comminuted into four fragments 8, 9, 10, 11.
- the contact force is only partially increased, for example, by only one of the pressing elements is actuated.
- increasing the contact force for example, only to the area 37, essentially only the fragments 8, 9 are generated, while the rest of the PTC element 6 is present unbroken.
- the contact pressure in the region 38 is increased beyond the holding force, so that in this case the fragments 10 and 11 are generated.
- the PTC element 6 is broken successively in different sections, which may result in advantageous fracture patterns.
- the contact force is increased simultaneously on at least two different areas of the contact surface 3 and the mating contact surface 5. This is purposefully controlled, which areas of the contact surface. 3 and / or the mating contact surface 5 are to be pressed onto each other and thus, which areas of the PTC element 6 to be broken.
- the surface of the PTC element 6, which is in thermal contact with the contact surface 3 of the heating element 2, ie the contact contact surface, is increased.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer elektrischen Heizung, die mindestens einen Heizkörper mit mindestens einer Kontaktfläche und mindestens ein elektrisches Widerstandselement, das zwischen der Kontaktfläche und einer Gegenkontaktfläche eines verlagerbar zu dem Heizkörper angeordneten Halteelements angeordnet ist, aufweist, wobei das Halteelement mit einer Anpresskraft gegen das Widerstandselement gedrückt wird, um dieses an dem Heizkörper zu halten.The invention relates to a method for producing an electric heater, which has at least one heating element with at least one contact surface and at least one electrical resistance element which is arranged between the contact surface and a mating contact surface of a displaceable arranged to the heating element holding member, wherein the holding element with a contact pressure is pressed against the resistance element to hold it to the radiator.
Verfahren zur Herstellung einer elektrischen Heizung sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. Dabei werden insbesondere elektrische Widerstandselemente, beispielsweise PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient, Kaltleiter)- Elemente, in einem Heizkörper verbaut. PTC- Elemente erwärmen sich bei einer Zufuhr von elektrischer Energie. Mit einer steigenden Temperatur des PTC-Elements nimmt dessen elektrischer Widerstand zu, wobei die elektrische Leistungsaufnahme des PTC-Elements bei einer Annäherung an eine maximale Temperatur und einen damit verbundenen maximalen elektrischen Widerstand sinkt. Aufgrund dessen wird das PTC-Element als selbstregelndes Heizelement eingesetzt, welches vor einer Überhitzung schützt. Der Heizkörper ist üblicherweise ein metallischer Hohlkörper, der einen Teil der von dem PTC-Element zugeführten Wärme aufnimmt und an eine Umgebung, beispielsweise Luft, überträgt. Zur Kontaktierung und Befestigung des PTC-Elements an dem Heizkörper werden üblicherweise elektrisch leitende Materialien, insbesondere Metallbauteile, verwendet. Es ist bekannt, dass diese eine effiziente Wärmeübertragung von dem PTC-Element zu dem Heizkörper ermöglichen. Das PTC-Element ist üblicherweise auf einer wärmeaufnehmenden Kontaktfläche des Heizkörpers angeordnet und durch eine Gegenkontaktfläche zumindest eines Halteelements gegen die Kontaktfläche des Heizkörpers angepresst. Dadurch ergeben sich bei nicht exakt planer Kontaktfläche und/oder Gegenkontaktfläche Bereiche, an denen kein direkter Berührungskontakt und damit kein Wärmeaustausch stattfindet. Fließt Wärme nicht gleichmäßig von dem PTC-Element zu dem Heizkörper, so kann das PTC-Element bereichsweise eine höhere Temperatur annehmen, wodurch der elektrische Strom reduziert wird und die maximale Leistung sinkt.Methods for producing an electric heater are known from the prior art. In particular electrical resistance elements, such as PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient, PTC) elements are installed in a radiator. PTC elements heat up when a supply of electrical energy. As the temperature of the PTC element increases, its electrical resistance increases and the electrical power consumption of the PTC element decreases as it approaches a maximum temperature and associated maximum electrical resistance. Because of this, the PTC element is used as a self-regulating heating element, which protects against overheating. The radiator is usually a metallic hollow body, which receives a part of the heat supplied from the PTC element and to an environment, such as air, transmits. For contacting and fastening of the PTC element to the radiator usually electrically conductive materials, in particular metal components, are used. It is known that these allow efficient heat transfer from the PTC element to the radiator. The PTC element is Usually arranged on a heat-absorbing contact surface of the radiator and pressed by a mating contact surface of at least one retaining element against the contact surface of the radiator. This results in not exactly flat contact surface and / or mating contact surface areas where no direct physical contact and thus no heat exchange takes place. If heat does not flow evenly from the PTC element to the radiator, the PTC element can reach a higher temperature in some areas, which reduces the electrical current and decreases the maximum power.
Aus der Offenlegungsschrift
Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die Anpresskraft zumindest bereichsweise so weit erhöht wird, dass das Widerstandselement in zumindest zwei Bruchstücke bricht. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruch 1 hat den Vorteil, dass durch ein Brechen beziehungsweise Zerkleinern des elektrischen Widerstandselements die Fläche des elektrischen Widerstandselements, die mit dem Heizkörper in thermischem Berührungskontakt steht, vergrößert wird. Damit wird insbesondere eine gleichmäßige Wärmeübertragung von dem elektrischen Widerstandselement zu dem Heizkörper ermöglicht. Freie Räume oder Spalte, die zwischen dem elektrischen Widerstandselement und der Kontaktfläche des Heizelements liegen, werden durch den Bruch des Widerstandselements besser ausgefüllt. Durch die Verteilung der gebrochenen Teile des Widerstandselements zwischen der Kontaktfläche und der Gegenkontaktfläche wird eine größere Berührungskontaktfläche der elektrischen Widerstandselemente mit der Kontaktfläche erreicht. Somit weist das elektrische Widerstandselement im Wesentlichen eine verbesserte Temperaturverteilung auf. Die elektrische Heizung wird somit effizienter, indem mehr elektrische Energie, die für die Erwärmung des Widerstandselements eingesetzt wird, auch an den Heizkörper weitergeleitet wird. Um das elektrische Widerstandselement zu brechen werden die ansonsten störenden, insbesondere fertigungsbedingten Unebenheiten an Kontaktfläche und/oder Gegenkontaktfläche ausgenutzt. Somit entsteht ein Bruch, der auf den Heizkörper individuell angepasst wird.According to the invention, it is provided that the contact force is increased at least in some areas so far that the resistance element breaks into at least two fragments. The inventive method with the features of
Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die Kontaktfläche und/oder die Gegenkontaktfläche mit wenigstens einem Brechvorsprung versehen oder hergestellt wird. Der Vorteil dieser Weiterbildung ist, dass hierdurch ein gezieltes Brechen ermöglicht, insbesondere vereinfacht wird. Insbesondere wird das elektrische Widerstandselement so gebrochen, dass die Verteilung der gebrochenen Teile gleich oder nahezu gleich ist. Der Brechvorsprung ist beliebig auf der Kontaktfläche und/oder der Gegenkontaktfläche anordenbar. In Abhängigkeit des Bereichs, welcher unter der Anpresskraft bevorzugt brechen soll, wird eine Position des Brechvorsprungs gewählt. Optional können auch mehrere Brechvorsprünge auf der Kontaktfläche und/oder der Gegenkontaktfläche angebracht werden. Der Brechvorsprung weist bevorzugt eine scharfe, insbesondere spitz zulaufende Kante auf, um den Anpressdruck auf das elektrische Widerstandselement an der Soll-Bruchstelle zu maximieren. Der Brechvorsprung ist vorzugsweise einstückig an der Kontaktfläche oder der Gegenkontaktfläche ausgebildet. Der Brechvorsprung oder eine Vielzahl von Brechvorsprüngen können beispielsweise durch eine Fräsung in der Kontaktfläche und/oder der Gegenkontaktfläche angebracht werden. Dabei sind die Brechvorsprünge bevorzugt stegförmig angeordnet. Dadurch wird es beispielsweise möglich, parallel angeordnete Brechvorsprünge anzubringen. Bevorzugt ist der jeweilige Brechvorsprung an der Kontaktfläche oder der Gegenkontaktfläche durch eine von der ansonsten im Wesentlichen ebenen Kontaktfläche beziehungsweise Gegenkontaktfläche vorstehenden Erhebung gebildet. Alternativ oder zusätzlich dazu sind Brechvorsprünge vorzugsweise durch eine oder mehrere, insbesondere benachbarte Vertiefungen in der Kontaktfläche und/oder der Gegenkontaktfläche gebildet, vorzugsweise durch eine Bohrung, Fräsung und/oder Ätzung in die Kontaktfläche und/oder in Gegenkontaktfläche eingebracht. Dadurch bilden sich an den Rändern der jeweiligen Vertiefung Brechvorsprünge heraus, zwischen denen die jeweilige Vertiefung liegt.According to the invention, it is provided that the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface is provided or produced with at least one breaking projection. The advantage of this development is that this allows a targeted breaking, in particular simplified. In particular, the electrical resistance element is broken so that the distribution of the fractured parts is equal or nearly equal. The crushing projection can be arranged arbitrarily on the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface. Depending on the area which is to break preferentially under the contact force, a position of the breaking projection is selected. Optionally, a plurality of crushing projections on the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface can be attached. The breaking projection preferably has a sharp, in particular pointed edge, in order to maximize the contact pressure on the electrical resistance element at the predetermined breaking point. The crushing projection is preferably formed integrally on the contact surface or the mating contact surface. The crushing projection or a plurality of crushing projections can be attached, for example, by a milling in the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface. The crushing projections are preferably arranged web-shaped. This makes it possible, for example, to attach parallel crushing projections. Preferably, the respective breaking projection on the contact surface or the mating contact surface is formed by a projection projecting from the otherwise substantially flat contact surface or mating contact surface. Alternatively or additionally, crushing projections are preferably formed by one or more, in particular adjacent recesses in the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface, preferably introduced through a bore, milling and / or etching in the contact surface and / or counter-contact surface. This forms at the edges of the respective recess crushing protrusions out, between which lies the respective recess.
Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass die Anpresskraft nur bereichsweise erhöht wird, bis das Widerstandselement bricht. Der Vorteil hierbei ist, dass gezielt gesteuert wird, welche Bereiche der Kontaktfläche und/oder der Gegenkontaktfläche aneinander angepresst und damit, welche Bereiche des elektrischen Widerstandselements gebrochen werden sollen. Die Anpresskraft wird beispielsweise durch eine Vorrichtung erzeugt, welche auf die Kontaktfläche und/oder die Gegenkontaktfläche wirkt und dabei beispielsweise Anpresselemente aufweist, die entlang einer Auflagefläche der Vorrichtung auf der Kontaktfläche und/oder Gegenkontaktfläche angeordnet sind. Damit wird sowohl die thermische Kontaktierung als auch der Anpressdruck zur Zerkleinerung des elektrischen Widerstandselements erzeugt. Damit die Vorrichtung bereichsweise die Anpresskraft ausübt, sind die Anpresselemente insbesondere als einzeln steuerbare Druckstangen, die senkrecht zu der Kontaktfläche und/oder der Gegenkontaktfläche angeordnet sind, ausgebildet.It is preferably provided that the contact force is only partially increased until the resistance element breaks. The advantage here is that it is purposefully controlled which regions of the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface are pressed against each other and thus which regions of the electrical resistance element are to be broken. The pressing force is generated, for example, by a device which acts on the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface and, for example, has contact pressure elements which are arranged along a bearing surface of the device on the contact surface and / or mating contact surface. Thus, both the thermal contact and the contact pressure for comminution of the electrical resistance element is generated. In order for the device to exert the contact force in certain regions, the contact pressure elements are designed in particular as individually controllable push rods which are arranged perpendicular to the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface.
Besonders bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass die Anpresskraft in unterschiedlichen Bereichen nacheinander erhöht wird, sodass das Widerstandselement in diesen Bereichen nacheinander gebrochen wird. Dadurch wird das elektrische Widerstandselement gezielt nacheinander an verschiedenen Stellen gebrochen. Die Anpresskraft wirkt dabei beispielsweise gleichzeitig auf zwei verschiedene Bereiche der Kontaktfläche und/oder der Gegenkontaktfläche. Nach dem Bruch des elektrischen Widerstandselements in diesen zwei Bereichen wird an einer anderen Stelle die Anpresskraft erhöht. So wird es möglich, dass ein schon gebrochener Bereich des elektrischen Widerstandselements erneut einer Anpresskraft ausgesetzt und erneut gebrochen wird.Particularly preferably, it is provided that the contact force is increased in succession in different areas, so that the resistance element is broken in succession in these areas. As a result, the electrical resistance element is deliberately broken successively at different locations. The contact force acts, for example, simultaneously on two different areas of the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface. After breaking the electrical resistance element in these two areas, the contact pressure is increased at another point. This makes it possible for an already broken region of the electrical resistance element to be subjected again to a contact force and broken again.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Kontaktfläche und/oder die Gegenkontaktfläche durch jeweils ein Kontaktelement gebildet werden, das insbesondere eine höhere Elastizität als der Heizkörper beziehungsweise das Haltelement aufweist. Der Vorteil dieser Weiterbildung ist, dass somit die Herstellung der Kontaktfläche und/oder der Gegenkontaktfläche vereinfacht wird, weil das Kontaktelement als separates Teil hergestellt und an der Kontaktfläche und/oder der Gegenkontaktfläche angebracht wird. So wird insbesondere Material, welches bevorzugte Eigenschaften wie beispielsweise eine bestimmte Materialhärte oder eine elastische Verformbarkeit aufweisen muss, sparsam verwendet. Durch die bevorzugt erhöhte Elastizität passt sich bei einer Bewegung der Kontaktfläche in Richtung der Gegenkontaktfläche die Kontaktfläche und/oder die Gegenkontaktfläche an die Kontur des elektrischen Widerstandelements an. Somit vergrößert sich die Berührungskontaktfläche des elektrischen Widerstandselements, die an den Kontaktflächen und/oder Gegenkontaktflächen anliegt, weiter, was wiederum eine verbesserte Wärmeübertragung gewährleistet.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface are each formed by a contact element, which in particular has a higher elasticity than the heating element or the holding element. The advantage of this development is that thus the production of the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface is simplified because the contact element is manufactured as a separate part and to the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface is attached. In particular, material which has preferred properties, such as a certain material hardness or elastic deformability, is used sparingly. Due to the preferably increased elasticity, the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface adapts to the contour of the electrical resistance element when the contact surface moves in the direction of the mating contact surface. Thus, the contact contact surface of the electrical resistance element, which bears against the contact surfaces and / or mating contact surfaces, further increases, which in turn ensures improved heat transfer.
Besonders bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass das jeweilige Kontaktelement aus einem elektrisch und/oder thermisch leitfähigen Material gefertigt wird. Der Vorteil hierbei ist, dass somit die Übertragung von elektrischer Energie und/oder Wärmeenergie zusätzlich verbessert und effizienter wird. Die elektrische Energie wird beispielsweise von dem Kontaktelement an das elektrische Widerstandselement übertragen, um es zu betreiben. Beispielsweise ist das Kontaktelement aus Metall oder auch aus elektrisch und/oder thermisch leitendem Kunststoff gefertigt.It is particularly preferably provided that the respective contact element is made of an electrically and / or thermally conductive material. The advantage here is that thus the transmission of electrical energy and / or heat energy is additionally improved and more efficient. The electrical energy is transmitted, for example, from the contact element to the electrical resistance element to operate it. For example, the contact element is made of metal or of electrically and / or thermally conductive plastic.
Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass das jeweilige Kontaktelement mit einer kammförmigen Anpressgeometrie, welche die Brechvorsprünge bildet, ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass parallel verlaufende Bruchlinien erzeugt werden. Bevorzugt übt die kammförmige Anpressgeometrie nur bereichsweise einen Anpressdruck auf das elektrische Widerstandselement aus, um ein gezieltes Brechen zu gewährleisten. Weiterhin vorteilhaft ist, dass das elektrische Widerstandselement zunächst durch die bevorzugt elastische Verformbarkeit des Kontaktelements in dieses eingedrückt wird und anschließend, wenn eine mechanische Belastung auf das elektrische Widerstandselement zu groß wird, dieses von den Brechvorsprüngen gezielt gebrochen wird. Die Berührungskontaktfläche des elektrischen Widerstandselements, die mit dem Kontaktelement in elektrischer und/oder thermischer Wirkverbindung steht, wird demnach maximiert.It is preferably provided that the respective contact element with a comb-shaped Anpressgeometrie, which forms the crushing projections, is formed. This has the advantage that parallel fault lines are generated. Preferably, the comb-shaped Anpressgeometrie exerts only partially a contact pressure on the electrical resistance element to ensure a targeted breaking. It is also advantageous that the electrical resistance element is first pressed into the latter by the preferably elastic deformability of the contact element and then, if a mechanical load on the electrical resistance element is too large, this is deliberately broken by the crushing projections. The contact contact surface of the electrical resistance element, which is in electrical and / or thermal operative connection with the contact element, is thus maximized.
Besonders bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass die Anpresskraft durch eine Klemmeinrichtung und/oder durch eine elektromagnetische Pulsumformung erzeugt wird. Dadurch wird insbesondere dafür gesorgt, dass die Anpresskraft auf das elektrische Widerstandselement gleichmäßig übertragen wird. Die Klemmeinrichtung kann beispielsweise mit einer einstellbaren, konstanten Kraft auf das Halteelement drücken. Bei Bedarf wird die Anpresskraft durch die Klemmeinrichtung kontinuierlich oder zumindest schrittweise erhöht, um für ein Brechen des Widerstandselements zu sorgen. Nach einem erfolgten Bruch kehrt die Klemmeinrichtung in einen Zustand zurück, wo sie mit dem einstellbaren Anpressdruck auf das Halteelement drückt. Alternativ verbleibt die Klemmeinrichtung in dem Zustand, in dem sie den Bruch des elektrischen Widerstandselements erzeugt hat. Optional wird die Klemmeinrichtung an dem Heizkörper und/oder Halteelement verschraubt. Indem beispielsweise der Anpressdruck der Klemmeinrichtung mit einem Festziehen der Verschraubung vergrößert und mit einem Lösen der Verschraubung verkleinert wird, wird dadurch ein gezieltes Einstellen der Anpresskraft ermöglicht. Durch die elektromagnetische Pulsumformung wird eine individuelle Verformung der einzelnen Bereiche der Kontaktfläche und/oder der Gegenkontaktfläche als auch des elektrischen Widerstandselements erreicht. Für das elektromagnetische Pulsumformen ist es nötig, dass die Kontaktfläche und/oder die Gegenkontaktfläche als auch das elektrische Widerstandselement aus einem elektrisch leitfähigen Material bestehen. So können beispielsweise vorab das elektrische Widerstandselement und das Kontaktelement berührungslos aufeinander gepresst werden. Dazu werden insbesondere eine elektrische Spule benötigt und ein leistungsstarkes, gepulstes Magnetfeld benötigt. Die Anpressung lässt sich dann ohne einen mechanischen Kontakt zwischen dem elektrischen Widerstandselement und dem Kontaktelement durchführen. Das Magnetfeld wirkt bei der elektromagnetischen Pulsumformung ungehindert durch das Material des Heizkörpers und/oder des Halteelements. Somit wird es möglich, eine größtmögliche Oberfläche des elektrischen Widerstandselements zu erhalten, die an die Kontaktfläche und/oder die Gegenkontaktfläche aufgepresst ist.Particularly preferably, it is provided that the contact pressure is generated by a clamping device and / or by an electromagnetic pulse transformation. This ensures in particular that the contact force is transmitted uniformly to the electrical resistance element. The clamping device can press, for example, with an adjustable, constant force on the holding element. If necessary, the pressing force is increased by the clamping device continuously or at least gradually to provide for breaking of the resistive element. After a successful break, the clamping device returns to a state where it presses with the adjustable contact pressure on the retaining element. Alternatively, the clamping device remains in the state in which it has generated the breakage of the electrical resistance element. Optionally, the clamping device is screwed to the radiator and / or retaining element. For example, by increasing the contact pressure of the clamping device with a tightening of the screw connection and decreasing it with a loosening of the screw connection, a targeted adjustment of the contact force is thereby made possible. The electromagnetic pulse transformation achieves individual deformation of the individual regions of the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface as well as of the electrical resistance element. For the electromagnetic pulse transformation, it is necessary that the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface and the electrical resistance element consist of an electrically conductive material. For example, in advance the electrical resistance element and the contact element can be pressed against each other without contact. For this purpose, in particular an electrical coil is needed and a powerful, pulsed magnetic field needed. The contact pressure can then be carried out without mechanical contact between the electrical resistance element and the contact element. The magnetic field acts in the electromagnetic pulse transformation unhindered by the material of the heater and / or the holding element. Thus, it becomes possible to obtain the largest possible surface area of the electrical resistance element that is pressed against the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass als Widerstandselement ein PTC-Element verwendet wird. Die Vorteile des PTC-Elements wurden bereits zuvor erläutert.According to a preferred development of the invention, it is provided that a PTC element is used as the resistance element. The advantages of the PTC element have already been explained above.
Die erfindungsgemäße elektrische Heizung mit mindestens einem Heizkörper mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 9 zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass das Widerstandselement in zumindest zwei Bruchstücke durch eine erhöhte Anpresskraft gebrochen ist. Es ergeben sich hierdurch die bereits genannten Vorteile. Weitere Vorteile und bevorzugte Merkmale ergeben sich aus dem zuvor Beschriebenen sowie aus den Ansprüchen.The electric heater according to the invention with at least one radiator having the features of
Außerdem zeichnet sich die erfindungsgemäße elektrische Heizung dadurch aus, dass die Kontaktfläche und/oder die Gegenkontaktfläche jeweils wenigstens einen Brechvorsprung aufweisen. Es ergeben sich hierdurch die bereits genannten Vorteile. Weitere Vorteile und bevorzugte Merkmale ergeben sich aus dem zuvor Beschriebenen sowie aus den Ansprüchen.In addition, the electric heater according to the invention is characterized in that the contact surface and / or the mating contact surface each have at least one breaking projection. This results in the already mentioned advantages. Further advantages and preferred features will become apparent from the foregoing and from the claims.

Zum Betreiben des PTC-Elements 6 wird dieses beispielsweise durch einen elektrisch leitenden Kontakt mit der Kontaktfläche 3 mit elektrischer Energie versorgt. Mit einer Zufuhr von elektrischer Energie erwärmt sich das PTC-Element 6. Mit steigender Temperatur des PTC-Elements 6 nimmt dessen elektrischer Widerstand zu. Sobald sich das PTC-Element 6 einer maximalen Temperatur und damit einem maximalen Widerstand nähert, sinkt dessen elektrische Leistungsaufnahme.To operate the
Auf die Außenseite 28 des Heizelements 2 und die Außenseite 29 des Halteelements 4 wirkt eine Anpresskraft, die die Kontaktfläche 3 und die Gegenkontaktfläche 5 gegeneinander drückt und in
Um die Anpresskraft zu erzeugen wird beispielsweise eine hier nicht dargestellte Vorrichtung verwendet, welche entlang der Außenseiten 28 und 29 insbesondere in Form einer Klemmeinrichtung angeordnet ist und entlang der Außenseiten 28 und 29 einzeln steuerbare Anpresselemente aufweist. Durch die dabei erzeugte Anpresskraft wird das PTC-Element 6 sicher an dem Heizkörper 2 gehalten.To generate the contact force, for example, a device not shown here is used, which is arranged along the
Durch die Anpresselemente wird die Anpresskraft gemäß einem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel gleichmäßig auf das PTC-Element 6 aufgebracht. Dabei wird die Anpresskraft so lange beziehungsweise so weit erhöht, bis das PTC-Element 6 an wenigstens einer Stelle bricht. Vorliegend wird dabei das PTC-Element 6 in vier Bruchstücke 8, 9, 10, 11 zerkleinert.By pressing the pressing force is applied uniformly to the
Optional ist es vorgesehen, dass die Anpresskraft nur bereichsweise erhöht wird, indem beispielsweise nur eines der Anpresselemente betätigt wird. Indem die Anpresskraft beispielsweise nur auf den Bereich 37 erhöht wird, werden im Wesentlichen nur die Bruchstücke 8, 9 erzeugt, während das restliche PTC-Element 6 ungebrochen vorliegt. Anschließend ist es bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass die Anpresskraft in dem Bereich 38 über die Haltekraft hinaus erhöht wird, so dass dabei die Bruchstücke 10 und 11 erzeugt werden. Somit wird hierbei das PTC-Element 6 in unterschiedlichen Abschnitten nacheinander gebrochen, wodurch sich vorteilhafte Bruchmuster ergeben können.Optionally, it is provided that the contact force is only partially increased, for example, by only one of the pressing elements is actuated. By increasing the contact force, for example, only to the
Insbesondere ist es vorgesehen, dass die Anpresskraft gleichzeitig an zumindest zwei verschiedenen Bereichen der Kontaktfläche 3 und der Gegenkontaktfläche 5 erhöht wird. Damit wird gezielt gesteuert, welche Bereiche der Kontaktfläche 3 und/oder der Gegenkontaktfläche 5 aufeinander aufgepresst werden sollen und damit, welche Bereiche des PTC-Elements 6 gebrochen werden sollen.In particular, it is provided that the contact force is increased simultaneously on at least two different areas of the
Vorteilhaft ist, dass somit die Fläche des PTC-Elements 6, die mit der Kontaktfläche 3 des Heizkörpers 2 in thermischem Berührungskontakt steht, also die Berührungskontaktfläche, vergrößert wird. Dadurch wird insbesondere die Wärmeübertragung von dem PTC-Element 6 zu dem Heizkörper 2 verbessert. Dies erhöht somit den Wirkungsgrad der elektrischen Heizung 1, weil die elektrische Energie, die für die Erwärmung des PTC-Elements 6 eingesetzt wird, effizienter an den Heizkörper 2 übertragen wird.It is advantageous that thus the surface of the
Der Vorteil hierbei ist, dass im Gegensatz zu dem Ausführungsbeispiel in
Die Brechvorsprünge 7 weisen bevorzugt scharfe, insbesondere spitz zulaufende Anpresskanten auf, um den Anpressdruck auf das PTC-Element 6 an der Stelle, an der der Bruch erfolgt, zu maximieren.The crushing
Die Kontaktfläche 2 weist hierbei Bruchvorsprünge 7 in Form der kammförmigen Anpressgeometrie 16 auf. Die kammförmige Anpressgeometrie 16 ist in Form eines Kontaktelements 22 ausgebildet, welches vorzugsweise stoffschlüssig an die Kontaktfläche 3 angebracht wird, beispielsweise durch Schweißen oder durch ein Beschichtungsverfahren.The
Das Kontaktelement 22 ist bevorzugt aus einem elektrisch und/oder thermisch leitfähige n, insbesondere weiche-n Material gefertigt, um die Übertragung von elektrischer und/oder thermischer Energie zusätzlich zu verbessern. Zusätzlich weist das Kontaktelement 22 bevorzugt eine höhere Elastizität auf als der Heizkörper 2. Dazu ist das Kontaktelement 22 beispielsweise aus Aluminium oder einem leitfähigen Kunststoff gefertigt.The
Durch die höhere Elastizität des Kontaktelements 22 wird bei einem Anpressen der Kontaktfläche 3 auf die Gegenkontaktfläche 5 sowohl das PTC-Element 6 gebrochen, als auch die einzelnen Bruchstücke 31 bis 34 des PTC-Elements 6 in die Kammzähne 17 eingeschoben, so dass sich die Kammzähne 17 deformieren und sich der Kontur der Bruchstücke 31 bis 34 anpassen. Damit wird insbesondere die Fläche des PTC-Elements 6, die in thermischem Berührungskontakt mit dem Heizkörper 2 steht, vergrößert, wodurch sich die Effizienz der Wärmeübertragung verbessert.Due to the higher elasticity of the
Gemäß einem hier nicht dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel werden Brechvorsprünge 7 zusätzlich oder alternativ durch die eine jeweilige Vertiefung begrenzenden Seitenränder einer oder mehrerer benachbarter Vertiefungen in der Kontaktfläche 3 und/oder der Gegenkontaktfläche 5 gebildet. Das PTC-Element 6 liegt dann so auf den Seiten- beziehungsweise Außenrändern der jeweiligen Vertiefung auf, dass es die Vertiefungen überbrückt. Sobald eine Kraft auf das aufliegende PTC-Element 6, beispielsweise im Bereich der Vertiefung der Kontaktflächen 3 durch die Gegenkontaktfläche 3, die dort insbesondere zumindest einen Brechvorsprung 7 aufweist, ausgeübt wird, bricht es insbesondere mittig.According to an exemplary embodiment not shown here, crushing
