Definitions

  • the basic idea of the invention is therefore to provide an electrical adapter for electrically connecting a control device of an electrical heating device to an electrical energy source and to an electrical signal source with a support on which, on the one hand, electrical lines having electrical connections and electrical interfaces for electrically connecting control electronics of the control device to the electrical signal source and to the electrical energy source are present.
  • the support which is in accordance with the invention, comprises an aperture for forming a screw connection which the adapter can be connected to an electronics housing of the control unit with, and a positioning aid for positioning the adapter relative to the control electronics and/or to the electronics housing.
  • the electrical adapter according to the invention not only allows a reliable electrical connection of the control electronics of a control unit of an electrical heating device with an electrical signal source and with an electrical energy source, but also a particularly easy-to-implement positioning of the components of the control unit relative to each other and a positionally accurate attachment of said components to each other. This advantageously reduces the assembly work involved in assembling the control unit and improves the automation of a corresponding assembly process.
  • An electrical adapter for electrically connecting a control unit of an electrical heating device to an electrical energy source and to an electrical signal source comprises a support made of an electrically insulating plastic material.
  • the electrical adapter comprises at least one electrical supply line for electrical energy transmission, wherein this supply line is embedded in the plastic material of the support or is at least arranged in or on the plastic material.
  • the supply line merges at one end into an electrical supply connection for electrical and mechanical connection to the electrical energy source and at the other end into a supply interface for electrical - and preferably also mechanical - connection of a control electronics of the control unit.
  • the electrical adapter has at least one electrical signal line for electrical signal transmission, this signal line being embedded in the plastic material of the support or at least arranged in or on the plastic material.
  • the signal line merges at one end into an electrical signal connection for electrical - and preferably also mechanical - connection to the electrical signal source and at the other end into a signal interface for electrical and mechanical connection of the control electronics.
  • embedded can mean in particular that the respective line is at least partially, preferably completely in at least one location, surrounded by the plastic material of the support for its fixation on or in the support. According to the invention, there is an aperture on the support to form a screw connection, which the adapter can be connected to an electronics housing of the control unit with.
  • the support also comprises at least one positioning aid for positioning the adapter relative to the control electronics and - alternatively or additionally - relative to the electronics housing, the positioning aid being arranged between the two interfaces and the aperture of the adapter.
  • the positioning aid is integrally formed on the support and has a protruding positioning pin which is designed to be received in a recess formed on the electronics housing.
  • This recess of the electronics housing is preferably designed to complement the positioning pin.
  • the support comprises a first and a second support part.
  • the first and the second support part each have an L-geometry comprising a first L-limb and a second L-limb, which are arranged at an angle to each other.
  • the L-limbs of the L-geometry are arranged essentially at a right angle to each other.
  • the L-limbs of the L-geometry merge into each other in an apex section of the L-geometry.
  • the signal connection is provided at a limb end remote from the apex of the first L-limb of the first support part and the supply connection is provided at the limb end remote from the apex of the first L-limb of the second support part.
  • the signal interface is arranged at the limb end remote from the apex of the second L-limb of the first support part and the supply interface is provided at the limb end remote from the apex of the second L-limb of the second support part.
  • the second L-limbs of the first and second support parts together form the T-base and the first L-limbs of the first and second support parts together form the T-roof of the T-type geometry of the support.
  • the support parts have a tab on each of their apex sections facing away from their first legs.
  • the tabs connect the support parts to each other in such a way that together they define the aperture of the support.
  • only one fastener to form the support can be used, both to fasten the support parts together and to fasten the other components of the control unit to the support.
  • the support and the connection collar are integrally molded together in a two-stage injection molding process, whereby the plastic material of the support is overmolded with a different collar plastic material of the connection collar or vice versa. It is thus advantageous that the support and the connection collar can be produced in only one injection mold, which proves to be cost-effective, especially in the case of high quantities, by exploiting economies of scale.
  • connection collar are designed as separate components.
  • identically designed supports but different connection collars can be used for different adapters or vice versa.
  • connection collar comprises a collar housing made of a collar plastic material which surrounds a spring-loaded shielding insert of the connection collar for electrical shielding the supply connection.
  • the shielding insert in turn surrounds a contact insert which forms the receptacle for the connection collar.
  • the shielding insert can be connected mechanically and electrically to the electronics housing of the control unit for its electrical earthing, in particular by means of a clamp which holds the connection collar together mechanically.
  • this allows for keeping interferences away from the control electronics, that can occur when connecting the electrical energy source to the supply connection and which can otherwise lead to the destruction of the control electronics in the worst case.
  • the signal line includes an electrical signal busbar or is an electrical signal busbar.
  • the supply line includes a supply busbar or is a supply busbar. Such busbars can be mounted particularly well in automated processes.
  • Figure 1 shows an example of a control unit 2 of an electric heating device in a perspective view.
  • the electric heating device can be a high-voltage heating device.
  • An electrical adapter 1 in accordance with the present invention - also illustrated as an example in Figure 1 - is provided on the control unit 2, which the control unit 2 can be connected with to an electrical energy source E and an electrical signal source, which both are not shown in Figure 1 .
  • the electrical adapter 1 of Figure 1 comprises a support 3 made of an electrically insulating plastic material.

  • This supply line 4 is embedded in the plastic material of support 3.
  • the electrical supply line 4 merges into an electrical supply connection 5 for electrical, and in particular mechanical, connection to the energy source E not shown in Figure 2 .
  • the supply line 4 merges into a supply interface 6 for electrical and mechanical connection of control electronics of the control unit 2.
  • the support 3 also comprises at least one positioning aid 12 which is arranged between the two interfaces 6, 9 and the aperture 10 for positioning the adapter 1 relative to the control electronics and/or the electronics housing 11.

  • the positioning aid 12 for example, is formed integrally, i.e. in one piece and with the same material, on the support 3 and has a projecting positioning pin 13.
  • This positioning pin 13 is designed to be accommodated in a recess formed in the electronics housing 11.
  • This recess provided on the electronics housing 11 can be designed to complement the positioning pin 13.
  • the positioning aid 11 is designed in such a way that it forms a guide 14 which, when mounting the control unit 1, guides the control electronics and/or the electronics housing 11 relative to the adapter 1 along a mounting direction 15.
  • the aperture 10 of the support 13 is located in a fixing lug 16, which is integrally formed in the support 3.
  • a fixing lug 16 is provided with an aperture 10 formed in it.
  • the supply connection 5 and the signal connection 8 are arranged opposite each other along a main extension direction H of the support 3.
  • the aperture 10 is located between these two connections 5, 8 with respect to the main extension direction H.
  • the aperture 10 is arranged along the main extension direction H essentially centrally between the two connections 5, 8.
  • FIG. 2 also shows that the support 3 has an essentially T-type geometry 17.
  • This T-type geometry 17 comprises a T-roof 18 extending along the main extension direction H and a T-base 19 integrally formed on the T-roof 18, the T-base 19 extending along a minor extension direction N, which is substantially perpendicular to the main extension direction H.
  • the T-base 19 merges into the T-roof 18 between the supply connection 5 and the signal connection 8, preferably centrally or at least substantially centrally.
  • the aperture 10 is arranged in a prolongation of the T-base 19 beyond the T-roof 18, so that the fixing lug 16 can form an extension of the T-base 19 beyond the T-roof 18.
  • Figure 5 shows another example of an adapter 1 according to the invention in a top view along the mounting direction 15.
  • the support 3 comprises a first and a second support part 20, 21.
