Definitions
- the invention relates to a power control device for controlling or adjusting the power of an electrical heating device and an arrangement of such a power control device with an electrical heating device.
- the power control unit is arranged in a hob together with the electric heating device.
- the hob advantageously has a number of heating devices, each of which has its own power control device assigned to it.
- Such power control devices are known from DE 19833983 A1. They control the performance of an electrical heating device by cyclic operation, i.e. by the heating device either being operated at full power during a switch-on time or being switched off during a switch-off time. The ratio between the two times determines the average continuous power that supplies the electric heater and is converted into heat by the heater.
- An above-mentioned power control device known from the prior art has a mechanical adjusting device with which the above-mentioned durations of the switch-on time and the switch-off time can be changed.
- this does not play a significant role, but it does play a role in the case of very low permanent power levels.
- Such low power levels are required, for example, for certain sauces or for melting chocolate or similar temperature-sensitive foods.
- the invention is based on the object of creating a power control device as mentioned at the outset and an arrangement of such a power control device with an electric heating device which is controlled by it, with which problems of the prior art can be solved and, in particular, it is possible to achieve precise control to increase the power, preferably in the low power range.
- This object is achieved by a power control device with the features of claim 1 and by an arrangement with the features of claim 14.
- Advantageous and preferred configurations of the invention are the subject matter of the other claims and are explained in more detail below. Some of the features are only described for the power control device or only for the arrangement. However, independently of this, they should be able to apply both to a power control device and to an arrangement independently and independently of one another.
- the wording of the claims is made part of the content of the description by express reference.
- the power control device is designed as a unit, in particular in a housing is arranged. It has a circuit breaker that is designed as a snap switch or as a snap spring.
- the circuit breaker is a mechanical switch. It has an elongate switching arm which has a power switching contact at one contact end. This power switching contact can be pressed by the switching arm against a counter-contact of the power control device, whereby the circuit breaker is closed. After opening, the power switching contact is at a certain distance from the counter-contact. Closing and opening takes place very quickly or abruptly, which is achieved in a known manner by designing it as a snap switch.
- a triggering device is provided which has a trigger. This trigger is located at the other end of the switching arm and can trigger a switching process, i.e. open or close the circuit breaker.
- the triggering device thus has the trigger, which has a bimetal or which is formed by a bimetal or consists of a bimetal, advantageously in the form of an elongated strip or as an elongated arm.
- the triggering device also has a heating device for the trigger, as is known per se from the prior art.
- the trigger has a free trigger end, with which it rests against the aforementioned switching arm end of the circuit breaker's switching arm in order to trigger or actuate it. Another end of the releaser is preferably arranged or fixed to the triggering device.
- the Schuvor device runs at a small distance from the trigger, advantageously less than 2 mm in the state of the trigger at room temperature.
- the heating device can be elongate and run at least partially along the trigger or in principle in the same direction, preferably at least overlapping.
- the heating device has a flat carrier which has an electrically insulating upper side on which a heating conductor is arranged.
- the heating conductor is advantageously designed as a thick-film heating conductor, alternatively as a thin-film heating conductor.
- the heating conductor is on the top of the heater support facing away from the trigger. Alternatively, it can also be arranged on the side pointing towards the trigger, as a result of which the trigger can be heated even more quickly due to thermal radiation.
- An electrically insulating cover or coating is then advantageous.
- the carrier is made of ceramic and has a thickness of less than 1.5 mm.
- the thickness is advantageously even less than 1 mm, and it is particularly advantageous to be between 0.1 mm or 0.4 mm and 0.75 mm.
- the power control device has an elongated compensation bimetal.
- This compensation bimetal has a freely movable res compensation end and an opposite fastening end. While the compensation end is pressed directly or indirectly against the triggering device, it is attached to the power control unit with the other attachment end.
- it can be attached to a stable metallic bridge to which other functional units mentioned above are also attached, advantageously the tripping device and the circuit breaker.
- the bridge can be a switching bridge, to which the tripping device and/or the circuit breaker are preferably also attached, advantageously in a resilient and/or movable manner.
- the switching bridge is advantageously fixed and immovable on the housing, in particular on a housing floor, arranged, particularly advantageously injected or plugged in.
- the compensating bimetal is preferably a SBCL/DS/751-108 material available from Shivalik.
- the compensating bimetal can be attached to the attachment end of the power control unit, in particular be attached to an aforementioned bridge or jumper that is firmly attached to a housing of the power control unit, advantageously immovable.
- the jumper can form the stop for the compensation bimetal, so that a distance between them or a maximum path for the compensation bimetal to the stop is 1.0 mm, preferably a maximum of 0.8 mm. It can be at least 0.1 mm or at least 0.2 mm.
- the compensating bimetal and the tripping device are spring-loaded relative to one another and rest against one another or are resiliently pressed against one another.
- This spring-loaded concern is advantageously achieved by a correspondingly resilient and prestressed design of the triggering device or by its attachment to the power control unit, for example by means of a resilient metal strip.
- the compensation bimetal is designed in such a way that a direction of movement of its free compensation end is in is an angle between 0 ° and 45 ° to the direction of movement of that area of the triggering device on which the compensation end is applied or pressed.
- the small thickness of the ceramic carrier results in a low thermal capacity.
- a rapid opening of the circuit breaker causes above all an increase in the accuracy of controlling the power of the heating device in the range of low continuous power.
- a compensating bimetal not only makes it possible to take account of different room temperatures or ambient temperatures, which in Central Europe anyway range within a relatively narrow range of between 5°C and a maximum of 35°C. Rather, when installed in a hob, the power control unit, which may have been in operation for a long time, especially if an oven arranged underneath it is also heated for a long time, can be exposed to significantly higher temperatures of over 50°C. On average, when the oven is in operation, temperatures of around 80°C arise in the stove and also on the power control unit, sometimes up to 125°C.
- the compensation bimetal influences the behavior of the bimetallic release in an unforeseeable manner, so that the influence of the ambient temperature on the bimetallic release can be at least partially, advantageously largely or even completely, eliminated by the compensation bimetal.
- the precise dimensioning and choice of material for the compensation bimetal and its arrangement relative to the triggering device with the bimetallic trigger is an interpretation that can easily be carried out by a person skilled in the art.
- the preferred material is SBCL/DS/751-108 from Shivalik.
- the compensating bimetal can be used to achieve a high degree of accuracy, particularly in the case of low power levels that are to be set or effected with the power control unit, advantageously in the area of the lowest power levels when the on-time is much shorter than the off-time.
- the compensation bimetal has a specific thermal curvature between 0.00003/K and 0.00006/K, in particular 0.000043/K. This is relatively small, but sufficient for the compensation effect if the differences in the ambient temperature are as described above.
- the provision of only one of these two aspects is already considered sufficient to improve the switching accuracy of the power control device according to the invention, particularly in the low-permanent range. If both aspects are provided together, this improvement is obviously even greater.
- the compensation bimetal is designed in such a way that its free, movable compensation end moves away from the tripping device as the temperature rises.
- the freely movable compensating end moves in approximately the opposite direction as the trigger or trigger free end. The influence of a changing, in particular increasing, ambient temperature on the trigger or on the triggering device can thus be reduced or eliminated by being compensated for.
- the entire trigger is formed as a bimetallic strip. It can have the same width and be curved like a round hook at the end of the trigger so that it can be easily moved against the switching arm end of the switching arm of the circuit breaker.
- this is known per se from the prior art mentioned at the outset.
- the triggering device is resiliently attached or mounted on the power control unit.
- a resilient metal is advantageously provided here, which can also take over a power supply to the heating device.
- a receptacle for the heating device can be provided on this resilient part, so that it only has to be plugged in, for example, and is then held mechanically and electrically contacted.
- the trigger is advantageously permanently connected to the resilient metal, advantageously spot-welded.
- the compensation bimetal is preferably rigidly attached to the attachment end of the power control device, for example welded to a contact bridge or a contact plug.
- the resilient mounting of the tripping device is sufficient for the tripping device to rest against the compensating bimetal in a spring-loaded manner
- an adjustable stop can be provided at the free end of the compensation bimetal, which is used for direct contact or pressing on the trigger.
- the adjustable stop can be a screw with a longitudinal direction from the compensation bimetal to the system on the trigger, for example a grub screw that can be adjusted from the outside for adjustment.
- This adjustable stop or the screw are advantageously aligned at right angles to a surface or a course of the compensation bimetal.
- the power control device can be designed to close and open the circuit breaker more frequently than once per minute if an average permanent controlled power is less than 20% of the maximum or continuous power. This is advantageously provided when the mean controlled sustained power is less than 10% or even less than 6% of the maximum sustained power.
- the power control device can now switch more quickly or trigger more quickly, it can also be switched more frequently and thus a relatively low permanent power can also be set more precisely by clocking.
- the further advantage of such frequent switching is that not only can the mean or permanent power seen over the long term be set more precisely, but the temperature fluctuations on a cooking vessel heated by the heating device are lower due to thermal inertia. This is better for the food to be heated or heated in it and protects it because the heating is more even.
- the aforesaid frequency of switching at the aforesaid low average sustained controlled power can also be such that the circuit breaker is closed and opened less frequently than once per minute.
- a cycle time can then be longer than one minute, advantageously it can be between one minute and one and a half or even two minutes.
- a tolerance of the power setting at the lowest setting position of the power control device can advantageously be within a tolerance range of +/-2.5% of the nominal value of the power, preferably +/-1.5% of the nominal value.
- a heat output of the heating device can be between 4 W and 40 W at room temperature, preferably between 5 W and 25 W. Additionally or alternatively, the heating conductor of the heating device can have a positive temperature coefficient of its electrical resistance. In one exemplary embodiment, the heating power of the heating conductor can be reduced during operation from around 20 W at room temperature to just under 10 W at an operating temperature between 400° C. and 500° C.
- a heating device is advantageously a radiant heating device, it being particularly advantageous for all the heating devices of the cooktop to be radiant heating devices.
- Each radiation heating device is assigned its own power control unit. Provision can be made for a permanent area output of a heating device to be less than 0.5 W/cm 2 , in particular less than 0.25 W/cm 2 , preferably less than 0.2 W/cm 2 , when the power control device is set to a low or maximum low setting. cm 2 is. As stated at the outset, it is precisely with such small or very small long-term average surface powers that the power control device according to the invention can achieve a high level of accuracy and consistency in a power setting.
- the heat throughput or the general heat transfer in the direction of the trigger is significantly faster, so that the trigger also reacts faster.
- a ratio of the switch-on time to the sum of the switch-on time and switch-off time also known as the ED value, can be less than 5%, which means that a very precise setting of a low output can be possible. Due to the reduced mass of the carrier, the speed can also be increased without significantly increasing a maximum temperature of the heating conductor or the heating device for the bimetal release. Advantageously, it is at most only 10K above a normal maximum temperature.
- the power control device can have a housing for the power switch and the tripping device, the housing being made of plastic, preferably of thermoplastic material such as polyphenylene sulfide. This is available as material Lusep GP 4650 NA from LG Chemical.
- the housing can have a device base, in particular designed in one piece, on which the circuit breaker and the tripping device are fastened.
- the bottom of the device is preferably made of the same material as the housing.
- the power control device is permanently assigned to the heating device and is electrically connected to it.
- Such an arrangement is advantageously a hob with a plurality of electrical heating devices and one power control unit each per heater.
- the heating devices are advantageously radiant heating devices, at least those that are controlled with a power control device according to the invention.
- a permanent mean surface power of a heating device which is controlled with a power control unit according to the invention, can be less than 0.5 W/cm 2 , in particular less than 0.25 W/cm 2 , when the power control unit is set to a low or maximum low setting. Preferably, it can even be less than 0.2 W/cm 2 .

- Fig. 2 clocks the power control unit from Fig. 1 with heated bimetals and open contacts
- FIG. 5 shows a side view of a power control device according to the invention as a structural unit
- FIG. 6 shows a top view of a hob according to the invention with four radiant heating devices and one power control unit each,
- Fig. 7 is a diagram with a course of the average temperature of a heating element of the heating device depending on the supply voltage and a thickness of a ceramic carrier and gers
- FIG. 8 shows a diagram similar to FIG. 7 with higher resolution and considering a significantly shorter time at the beginning of the heating.
- the power control device 11 forms a structural unit with a housing 12 and a device base 13 on which most of the functional units or components shown here are arranged or attached. These consist of plastic, advantageously of polyphenylene sulfide such as Lusep GP4650 NA. This gives good resistance to high temperatures.
- the power control device 11 has a power switch 14 as a central part, as is known per se from the prior art.
- the circuit breaker 14 has a switching arm 15 which has a switching arm end 17 on the right and a contact end 22 on the left.
- the parts of the switching arm 15 run past the snap element 19 and the support 20 on both sides.
- the contact end 22 with the power switching contact 23 is pushed upwards by the force of the resiliently bent Schnappele elements 19.
- the power switching contact 23 rests against a mating contact 25 which is fixedly arranged on a stationary mating contact bridge 26.
- the mating contact bridge 26 is cast or injected into the device base 13 and can, as shown in FIG. 5, protrude from the rear as a plug-in connection S for the electrical connection.
- the circuit breaker 14 is located on a switching arm carrier 28 which is fastened to a switching bridge 30 by means of a spring bearing 29 .
- the spring bearing 29 consists of thin resilient metal.
- the switching bridge 30 is similar to the counter-contact bridge 26 attached or injected in the device base 13 and can protrude as a plug-in connection S on a rear side of the power control device 11 .
- the shift arm carrier 28 has a downward bulge 28 ', which rests against an outer periphery of a shift drum 32, namely resiliently by the spring force of Federla delay 29.
- the shift drum 32 has a variable diameter, as is known from the prior art is.
- the switching arm carrier 28 and the entire circuit breaker 14 are then moved upwards or downwards moves downwards, which causes an adjustment of the aforementioned ED value and thus a setting of a different permanent power on a heating device controlled by the power control unit 11 .
- the state shown here corresponds to a rotation angle of about 50° and a relatively low permanent power, which corresponds, for example, to 10% to 20% of a maximum permanent power of the heating device.
- this is known from the prior art.
- the switching arm end 17 is pressed downwards by the triggering device 35, namely by a trigger 37 or its lower right hook end 38, which presses on the switching arm end 17 from above.
- the trigger 37 is an elongate bimetallic strip of constant width in the form shown here. With its left end it is connected to a spring bearing 40, advantageously welded, which in turn is attached to the switching bridge 30. She tries to resiliently push the release device 35 upwards.
- the trigger 37 is formed in such a way, as will be explained below with reference to FIG. 3, that when the left end is fixed it bends downwards with the right area, in particular with the hook end 38, as the temperature rises.
- the triggering device 35 also has a receptacle 41, which is formed by the spring bearing 40 at the end thereof.
- a heating device 43 is inserted for attachment in a manner known per se, which is shown in Fig. 4 nä forth.
- the heating device 43 lies essentially in the left area on the upper side of the trigger 37, but is not attached to it.
- a spring end 53 of a contact spring 52 is fastened to a contact bridge 55 at the bottom right, the contact bridge 55 in turn advantageously being cast or injected into the device base 13 and protruding as a plug-in connection S on a rear side.
- the contact spring 52 is gela siege on a bearing pin 54, around which it is wound several times.
- the contact spring 52 forms one electrical contact to the heating device 43.
- the other electrical contact is formed by the receptacle 41 together with the spring bearing 40.
- a compensation bimetal 58 is attached, which is formed approximately at right angles.
- an adjusting screw 59 is screwed into the compensation bimetal 58, which is designed here as a grub screw or as a hexagon socket screw.
- the adjusting screw 59 rests against the mount 41 .
- the bimetallic structure of the compensation bimetal 58 can be seen better in FIG.
- the compensating bimetal 58 can have a specific thermal curvature between 0.00003/K and 0.00006/K. It can advantageously be the aforementioned SBCL/DS/751-108 from Shivalik.
- the sequence of layers is, as the respective hatching makes clear, exactly mirrored to that of the trigger 37 arranged underneath. So while the trigger 37 bends downwards with its left free end when it heats up, starting from the attachment to the spring bearing 40, this bends Compensation bimetal 58 starting from the left fixed end up.
- a compensation distance KA ie a distance between the compensation bimetal 58 and its stop, can be provided in a range between 0 and 1.0 mm, preferably between 0 and 0.8 mm, up to the stop.
- This stop is formed here by the switching bridge 30, in particular by its rightmost end, which can be seen from FIG. 2, the switching bridge 30 and thus the stop not yielding.
- the compensation bimetal 58 can therefore not deform or bend further than this stop and at the same time cover at most the said compensation distance KA.
- the compensation distance KA is formed by the clear width between the end of the switching bridge 30 and the upper side of the compensation bimetal 58, see also Fig. 1, where the compensation bimetal 58 rests against the stop, i.e. it is deflected to the maximum extent, which means that the triggering device 35 is also deflected to the maximum extent directed upwards.
- This bending movement is illustrated by the arrows next to it on the right. If the temperature at the power control device 11 rises sharply, for example because it has been in operation for a long time and because an oven arranged under a hob has heated up considerably for a while, the bimetallic trigger 37 bends simply as a result of the higher ambient temperature down a bit.
- the compensation bimetal 58 bends slightly upwards, at most up to the stop formed by the switching bridge 30 . It is now designed and arranged in such a way that the effect resulting from the trigger 37 is neutralized by the compensation bimetal 58 or the two movements resulting from the higher ambient temperature are canceled or compensated for.
- Fig. 1 shows a state of the power control device 11 when it is switched on and when the temperature at the compensation bimetal 58 is approximately 25°C
- Fig. 2 shows a state in which the temperature at the compensation bimetal 58 is 125 °C prevails. This can be achieved at, for example, 170° C. on the heating device 43 itself.
- the power switch 14 is closed, i.e. when the power switching contact 23 and the mating contact 25 are in contact, the heating device 43 is in operation and heats up the trigger 37 significantly . This happens particularly quickly due to the construction according to the invention with the thin support of the heating device 43 .
- the trigger 37 quickly bent downwards to the extent that it opened the circuit breaker 14 in the manner described above.
- the power switching contact 23 has become detached from the mating contact 25 .
- the heating device 43 is no longer heated, as a result of which the trigger 37 cools down again and bends upwards again.
- the circuit breaker 14 closes again.
- the heating device 43 is then also operated again with renewed heating of the trigger 37 .
- the compensation bimetal 58 has bent significantly upwards.
- the spring force of the spring bearing tion 40 can press the entire triggering device 35 further upwards.
- the hook end 38 of the trigger 37 would have pressed the switch arm end 17 down even further, or the circuit breaker 14 would have been opened earlier, but only because of the strong heating.
- the very low or minimal powers mentioned at the outset for example 5% of the maximum permanent power, deviations are even more noticeable and disruptive.
- the Heating device 43 which has a ceramic carrier 44 .
- This example consist of silicon nitride and be electrically insulating.
- the ceramic support 44 is long and rectangular with a width B and a length L and a thickness D.
- This thickness D is 0.63 mm here and is therefore significantly thinner than conventional substrates whose thickness is more than 1 mm or even more than 1.5 mm.
- a first contact pad 48 is applied on the left and a second contact pad 49 on the right on an upper side 45 of the carrier, in each case near the end. Since between runs an applied heating element 50, which is formed as a thick-film heating element. He has PCT properties. Its output can be a few watts, for example 5 W or 10 W.
- the left first contact field 48 is electrically contacted by means of the receptacle 41 .
- the contact spring 52 rests with the spring end 53 on the right-hand second contact field 49 for electrical contacting.
- the arrangement of the heating device 43 in the power control device 11 according to FIG. 1 is such that the upper side 45 with the heating conductor 50 points away from the trigger 37 underneath, ie the trigger runs close to the underside 46 of the ceramic carrier 44 .
- An even faster heating of the trigger 37 could indeed be achieved in that the heating conductor 50 would be arranged on the underside 46 of the ceramic carrier 44 facing it.
- an electrical contact by means of the contact spring 52 would then be more difficult, although not impossible.
- the surface of the heating conductor 50 would then of course have to be electrically insulated from the bimetallic trigger 37, which can have at least a partially electrically conductive surface.
- FIG. 5 shows an entire power control unit 11 in a greatly simplified side view.
- a rear side of the housing 12 On a rear side of the housing 12, several plug-in connections S protrude, which are cast or injected into the device base 13 according to FIG. The electrical connection of the power control device 11 is made to them.
- a toggle K is placed, which serves as a manual handle.
- the switching shaft 33 and thus also the switching drum 32 are rotated and the position of the circuit breaker 14, in particular its distance from the trigger 37, is changed.
- a hob 60 according to the invention is shown as the above-mentioned order according to the invention.
- the hob 60 has a hob plate 61 with four radiant heating devices 62a, 62b, 62c and 62d on or under the hob plate 61.
- radiant heating devices have been known for a long time and formed the standard for such heaters for a long time.
- EP 590315 A2 Four power control devices 11a, 11b, 11c and 11d, each with a toggle Ka, Kb, Kc and Kd, are arranged at the front of the hob 60.
- the power control device 11a is assigned with the toggle Ka to the radiant heating device 62a for its operation, etc.
- the solid curves correspond to a heating device according to the prior art with a ceramic carrier that has a thickness of 1.5 mm.
- the thin, solid curve below corresponds to a course when operated with a voltage of 230V. This curve reaches a temperature of a little over 330°C after about 150 seconds.
- a higher voltage of 280V is used, and the resulting temperature curve corresponds to the thick solid curve at the top. This curve reaches a temperature of 370°C.
- the curves for the heating device according to the invention with the thin ceramic carrier are shown in dashed lines.
- the thin dashed curve is for operation with a mains voltage of 230V.
- the temperature reached over the long term is about 330°C, and this after three to four minutes. If the supply voltage is also increased here from 230V to 280V, the temperature rises, the maximum permanent temperature is then just under 400°C. This is the thick dashed curve. It is reached after a similar time.
- FIG. 8 shows the temperature over time, but on a different scale and with a supply voltage of 230V. This is therefore the temperature of the heating device itself.
- the temperature profile for the thin ceramic carrier 44 of the heating device 43 according to the invention is shown in dashed lines on the left. With this, a temperature of 120°C is already reached after a time of 4 seconds, and a temperature of 170°C after 8 seconds.
- a heating device with a conventional, thicker ceramic carrier In order to reach the temperature of 120° C., a heating device with a conventional, thicker ceramic carrier according to the prior art needs about 7.5 seconds, ie 3.5 seconds longer. The higher temperature of 170°C is reached after 13 seconds, so this is a time difference of 5 seconds.
- the heating conductor 50 has PTC properties of its electrical resistance. This ensures that the heating device does not, so to speak, run out during operation due to excessive heating.
