TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Wie bekannt ist, bestehen Wechselstromleitungen aus den 3 Hauptkomponenten Phasen-, Neutral- und Erdleiter. Aus verschiedenen Gründen können Neutral- und Erdleitung manchmal einen Kurzschluss verursachen. In diesem Fall fließt Strom durch die Neutralleitung, in der normalerweise kein Strom fließen darf. Infolgedessen können die mit dem Netz verbundenen elektrischen Komponenten beschädigt werden. Wenn solch eine Situation beispielsweise in Stromnetzen eintritt, an die Wassererhitzer wie Kombithermen angeschlossen sind, kann die Steuereinheit des Geräts aufgrund der hohen Temperatur beschädigt werden.As is known, AC power cables consist of the 3 main components phase, neutral and earth conductors. For various reasons, neutral and ground can sometimes cause a short circuit. In this case, current flows through the neutral line where normally no current is allowed to flow. As a result, the electrical components connected to the network can be damaged. For example, if such a situation occurs in power grids to which water heaters such as combi steamers are connected, the control unit of the appliance may be damaged due to the high temperature.

DETAILLIERTE BESCHREIBUNG DER ERFINDUNGDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In dieser detaillierten Beschreibung wird das erfindungsgegenständliche Kombigerät zum besseren Verständnis anhand von Beispielen, die keine einschränkende Wirkung haben, beschrieben.In this detailed description, the combination device according to the invention will be described for the sake of better understanding by way of examples, which have no limiting effect.

Wie in Figur 1 zu sehen ist, besitzt die erfindungsgegenständliche Kombitherme ein Metallgehäuse (10). Das betreffende Metallgehäuse (10) wurde mit einem Außengehäuse und einer Abdeckung (in der Figur nicht dargestellt) verschlossen. An dem Metallgehäuse (10), das eine Trägerfunktion übernimmt, befindet sich eine Steuereinheit als elektrische Hauptkomponente (110). Am Ausgang der Steuereinheit sind elektrische Zusatzkomponenten (120) wie Gebläse, Zünder oder Pumpe befestigt. Auf diese Weise steuert die Steuereinheit diese Komponenten.As in FIG. 1 can be seen, the combitherme invention has a metal housing (10). The respective metal housing (10) was closed with an outer housing and a cover (not shown in the figure). On the metal housing (10), which assumes a carrier function, there is a control unit as the main electrical component (110). At the output of the control unit additional electrical components (120) such as blower, igniter or pump are attached. In this way, the control unit controls these components.

Die Kombitherme bezieht die Energie, die sie für ihren Betrieb benötigt, aus dem Stromnetz (130), das Wechselstrom bereitstellt. Der Wechselstrom erreicht über ein Zuleitungskabel (20), das die Phasen-, Neutral- und Erdleitung (30, 40, 50) transportiert, die elektrische Hauptkomponente (110). Bei einer vorzugsweisen Ausführung der Erfindung ist zwischen der elektrischen Hauptkomponente (110) und dem Stromnetz (130) ein Trennblock (70) angeordnet.The combined heat source draws the energy it needs to operate from the utility grid (130) that provides AC power. The alternating current reaches the main electrical component (110) via a feeder cable (20) which carries the phase, neutral and ground lines (30, 40, 50). In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a separating block (70) is arranged between the main electrical component (110) and the power grid (130).

In Figur 1 und 2 wird am betreffenden Trennblock (70) die Erdleitung (50) von den Phasen- und Neutralleitungen (30, 40) getrennt. Somit erreicht die Energie die elektrische Hauptkomponente (110) über ein Anschlusskabel (80), das nur die Phasen- und Neutralleitungen (30, 40) transportiert. Andererseits wird die Erdleitung (50) über das Metallgehäuse (10) mit einem Erdungspunkt (1) verbunden.In FIGS. 1 and 2 At the relevant separation block (70), the earth line (50) is disconnected from the phase and neutral lines (30, 40). Thus, the energy reaches the main electrical component (110) via a lead wire (80) that transports only the phase and neutral lines (30, 40). On the other hand, the earth line (50) is connected to a grounding point (1) via the metal housing (10).

Die Erdleitung (50) erreicht den betreffenden Erdungspunkt (11) entlang einer Strecke, in deren Umgebung es kein Element gibt, das gegenüber hohen Temperaturen empfindlich ist.The ground line (50) reaches the grounding point (11) along a path around which there is no element sensitive to high temperatures.

Der Stromanschluss der elektrischen Hauptkomponente (110), die vorzugsweise eine Steuereinheit ist, und der elektrischen Zusatzkomponenten (120) wird mit Zusatzanschlusskabeln (90) gewährleistet, die ebenso nur die Phasen- und Neutralleitungen transportieren. Die elektrischen Zusatzkomponenten (120) besitzen Zusatzerdleitungen (100), die mit den Zusatzerdungspunkten (12) am Metallgehäuse (10) verbunden sind und sich getrennt vom Zusatzanschlusskabel (90) erstrecken. In diesem Zusammenhang sind die Zusatzerdungspunkte (12) mit dem Erdungspunkt (11) über das Metallgehäuse (10) leitfähig verbunden. Andererseits werden auch die Strecken der Zusatzerdleitungen (100) so konfiguriert, dass es in ihrer näheren Umgebung kein Element gibt, das gegenüber hohen Temperaturen empfindlich ist.The power connection of the main electrical component (110), which is preferably a control unit, and the auxiliary electrical components (120) is provided with auxiliary connection cables (90) which also transport only the phase and neutral lines. The additional electrical components (120) have additional earth leads (100) connected to the additional grounding points (12) on the metal shell (10) and extending separately from the auxiliary lead wire (90). In this context, the additional earthing points (12) are conductively connected to the earthing point (11) via the metal housing (10). On the other hand, the lines of the additional earth lines (100) are also configured such that there is no element in their vicinity that is sensitive to high temperatures.

Wie in Figur 3 und 4 zu sehen ist, befindet sich im erfindungsgegenständlichen Trennblock (70) eine Kabelführung (71) und eine Erdleitungsführung (72). Bei dieser bevorzugten Ausführung erstreckt sich die Kabelführung (71) und die Erdleitungsführung (72) vertikal zur Kabelführung (71). Andererseits besteht der Trennblock (70) aus zwei Teilen. Wenn diese beiden Teile miteinander verbunden werden, ist die betreffende Kabelführung (71) und Erdleitungsführung (72) definiert.As in FIGS. 3 and 4 can be seen, located in the inventive separation block (70) a cable guide (71) and a ground line guide (72). In this preferred embodiment, the cable guide (71) and the grounding guide (72) extends vertically to the cable guide (71). On the other hand, the separation block (70) consists of two parts. When these two parts are connected together, the cable guide (71) and ground line guide (72) are defined.

Dementsprechend wird bei dem Montageprozess zuerst der Mantel des Zuleitungskabels (20) ab einem bestimmten Punkt teilweise aufgeschnitten und die Erdungsleitung (50) über den Schnitt (60), der hier entstanden ist, herausgeholt. Auf diese Weise verwandelt sich der anschließende Abschnitt des Zuleitungskabels (20) in ein Anschlusskabel (80), das nur die Phasen- und Neutralleitungen (30, 40) transportiert. Das Kabel wird in dieser Form in den ersten Teil des Trennblocks (70) eingeführt und anschließend wird der zweite Teil des Trennblocks (70) an dem ersten Teil befestigt. Wenn das Kabel in den ersten Teil eingeführt wird, werden das Zuleitungskabel (20) und das Anschlusskabel (80) so angeordnet, dass sie sich entlang des Führungskabels (71) erstrecken, und die Erdleitung (50) wird so angeordnet, dass sie sich entlang der Erdleitungsführung (72) erstreckt.Accordingly, in the assembly process, first the sheath of the feeder cable (20) is partially cut open at a certain point and the grounding line (50) is taken out via the cut (60) which has been created here. In this way, the subsequent section of the feeder cable (20) turns into a connection cable (80) which transports only the phase and neutral lines (30, 40). The cable is inserted in this form into the first part of the separation block (70) and then the second part of the separation block (70) is attached to the first part. When the cable is inserted into the first part, the feeder cable (20) and the connecting cable (80) are arranged to extend along the guide cable (71), and the earth line (50) is arranged to extend along the ground line guide (72) extends.

Zum Schluss wird der Trennblock (70) mit einem Metallanschlusselement (73) am Metallgehäuse (10) fixiert. Somit tritt das Zuleitungskabel (20), das an einem Ende des Trennblocks (70) eintritt und die Phasen-, Neutral- und Erdleitungen (30, 40, 50) transportiert, am anderen Ende als Anschlusskabel (80), das nur die Phasen- und Neutralleitungen (30, 40) transportiert, aus. Die Erdleitung (50) tritt in einer anderen Richtung aus dem Trennblock (70) aus.Finally, the separation block (70) is fixed to the metal housing (10) with a metal connection element (73). Thus, the feeder cable (20) entering one end of the separation block (70) and carrying the phase, neutral, and ground lines (30, 40, 50) enters at the other end as a connection cable (80) which only carries the phase cables. and neutral lines (30, 40) transported, off. The ground line (50) exits the separation block (70) in a different direction.

Bei einer vorzugsweisen Ausführung der Erfindung besteht der Trennblock (70) aus Kunststoff, der gegenüber hohen Temperaturen beständig ist, und besitzt dementsprechend die Brandklasse V0. Außerdem besitzt er eine wasserundurchlässige Struktur und eine Zugkraft von 100 N, was den Anforderungen der Norm EN 60335-1 entspricht.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the separating block (70) made of plastic, which is resistant to high temperatures, and accordingly has the fire class V0. In addition, it has a water-impermeable structure and a tensile force of 100 N, which meets the requirements of EN 60335-1.

Somit stellen selbst hohe Temperaturen, die im Trennblock (70) insbesondere infolge eines Kurzschlusses der Erd- und Neutralleitung auftreten können, kein Risiko dar. Darüber hinaus wird verhindert, dass Flüssigkeit in den Trennblock (70) eindringt und zu Problemen wie Kurzschluss führt. Somit wird der Bereich, der die Erdleitung (50) von den anderen Leitungen trennt, dank des Trennblocks (70) vollkommen sicher verschlossen.Thus, even high temperatures, which may occur in the separation block (70), in particular as a result of a short circuit of the ground and neutral line, pose no risk. In addition, liquid is prevented from entering the separation block (70) and causing problems such as a short circuit. Thus, the area which separates the ground line (50) from the other lines is completely securely closed thanks to the separation block (70).

Dank dieser Lösung erstrecken sich alle Erdleitungen im Metallgehäuse (10) der Kombitherme getrennt von den Phasen- und Neutralleitungen und verlaufen in ausreichender Entfernung zu allen Komponenten, die empfindlich gegenüber hohen Temperaturen sind. Außerdem kann auch über das Metallgehäuse eine effektive Erdung gewährleistet werden. Somit wurden alle Risiken eliminiert, die auftreten können, wenn in der Netzleitung die Neutral- oder Erdleitungen einen Kurzschluss verursachen.Thanks to this solution, all earth wires in the metal housing (10) of the combi-heater extend separately from the phase and neutral wires and are sufficiently far away from all components that are sensitive to high temperatures. In addition, an effective grounding can be ensured via the metal housing. This eliminates all the risks that can occur if the neutral or ground lines in the power line cause a short circuit.
