Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical heating device with a housing which has a partition wall which separates a connection chamber from a heating chamber for emitting heat. At least one PTC element protrudes from the partition wall in the direction of the heating chamber. This PTC heating element is exposed like a heating rib in the heating chamber.
  • the PTC heating element has at least one PTC element and conductive tracks connected to it in an electrically conductive manner, which are assigned different polarities for energizing the PTC element. These conductor tracks are electrically connected to the power flow in the connection chamber.
  • Such a heating device is for example off EP 1 872 986 A1 or EP 2 337 425 A1 known.
  • Another also generic electrical heating device is from EP 3 334 242 A1 known.
  • the PTC heating element is first manufactured as a separate component and inserted as such in a heating element receptacle which is formed on the partition wall, so that the connection-side end of the heating element housing is sealed in the heating element receptacle of the partition wall and the conductor tracks with it their free, connection-side ends are exposed in the connection chamber in order to be electrically connected there.
  • the PTC heating element preassembled in this way is held in the heating element receptacle with a friction fit.
  • the PTC heating element has a labyrinth seal formed by the heating element housing, which is pressed into the heating element receptacle.
  • the attachment of the PTC heating element should at least be suitable for the assembly of the individual components of the previously known electrical heating device. After all the components of the electrical heating device have been assembled, the PTC heating element is supported on its underside opposite the connection side on a base which, in the example discussed above, closes the heating chamber. The PTC heating element is clamped between the floor and the heating element receptacle and secured in its installation position.
  • the present invention is based on the problem of specifying an improved electrical heating device of the type mentioned at the beginning.
  • the present invention proposes an electric heating device having the features of claim 1.
  • This has a holding element which engages around the heating element housing.
  • the holding element has a receiving opening which usually surrounds the heating element housing and engages around it in such a way that a mechanical connection is produced between the heating element housing and the holding element.
  • Such a connection is usually an at least non-positively or frictionally acting connection.
  • the heating element housing can initially be joined specifically to the partition wall of the electrical heating device during production, for example with the separately prepared housing, for example it can be plugged in, as shown below EP 3 334 242 A1 is known in principle, and by sliding the retaining element onto the heating element housing from the heating chamber side, the heating element encompasses the heating element housing.
  • the holding element usually has holding projections resting on the outer surface of the heating element housing, for example in the form of elastic spring tongues that interact with the outer surface of the heating element housing.
  • the retaining element according to the invention is connected to the partition wall on its side facing the heating chamber.
  • the holding element is also connected to the heating element housing, in particular due to the aforementioned force or frictional engagement.
  • the retaining element thus mechanically secures the heating element housing relative to the housing of the electrical heating device and thus the partition.
  • the present invention is also suitable for the mechanical fastening of heating elements which, other than by means of plug-in contacts according to EP 3 334 242 A1 are connected to the housing of the electrical heating device and thus its partition.
  • the solution according to the invention offers an additional means of securing the heating element housing with respect to the housing of the electrical heating device through the retaining element, even if this is formed in one piece with the partition or is connected to it by means of a material bond, for example by welding.
  • a sealing element usually ensures the sealing of the PTC heating element held in the heating element receptacle of the partition.
  • Each PTC heating element is usually provided with a sealing element, whereas only one holding element is usually provided for all PTC heating elements of the heating device.
  • the solution according to the invention brings particular advantages in connection with plug-in contact-type heating element housings held in the partition or at least sealed therein, which are initially produced separately. Because that Holding element can mechanically fasten such heating element housings permanently and reliably relative to the housing of the electrical heating device and thus secure them. For this purpose, it is usually only necessary to push the holding element from the heating chamber side over the heating element housing and to connect it to the housing of the electrical heating device.
  • connection between the holding element and the heating element housing is preferably - as already conveyed - a non-positive connection.
  • the holding element is also connected to the partition wall and thus to the housing of the electrical heating device in a force-locking manner.
  • a solid mechanical connection can thus be created by pushing on the holding element and placing the holding element against the partition.
  • This connection can be made in that the holding element placed on the partition wall is subsequently caulked or otherwise reshaped and / or connected.
  • the holding element is connected to the housing of the heating device solely by placing it against the partition and pressing it against it.
  • the retaining element only needs to be pushed over the heating element housing and applied with a certain pressing force, for example against the partition, in order to bring the retaining element into its installation position and thus mechanically connect it to the heating element housing on the one hand and the partition on the other.
  • the solution according to the invention also offers the advantage that the holding element can interact as a shield with the heating element housing in order to connect it electrically, for example, to a ground pole or to ground which is provided via the housing of the electrical heating device.
  • the housing can be completely or partially electrically conductive. It can also only hold and fix one ground pole to which the holding element is electrically connected in the installed position.

  • Such a heating rod also offers the possibility of forming a casing surrounding the PTC element.
  • the heating rod does not necessarily have to be closed with a shielding element at its free lower end facing away from the partition, although such an element is preferable as a stopper to form a complete envelope.
  • the shielding can, however, also be formed by a pocket that completely seals the at least one PTC element and the two conductor tracks, which is closed on its underside and also otherwise encloses the PTC element and the conductor tracks in a sealed manner, with electrical contact tongues, which are usually in one piece from the contact sheets forming the conductor tracks are formed and protrude beyond the outside of the pocket.

  • the pocket can also be filled with a thermally conductive compound, for example a silicone compound, in order to connect the inner surface of the pocket to the heat extraction surfaces of the PTC element in a manner that is as good as possible in terms of heat. It goes without saying that such a PTC element and the conductor tracks connected to it in an electrically conductive manner are supported in an insulated manner within such an electrically conductive pocket.
  • the conductor tracks, the PTC element and usually on both sides of the main side surfaces of the PTC element, which are the largest side surfaces of the PTC element and accordingly form the relevant heat extraction surfaces, adjacent insulating layers in a holder made of an insulating material can be preassembled, which are in the Bag is introduced.
