Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for opening and closing a passage orifice present in a housing, with a closing body which opens and closes the passage orifice and determines the throughflow quantity of a heating medium provided for heating a medium which at least partially surrounds the device.
  • a device of this type is used, for example, as part of a washing-water container heating for motor vehicles.
  • the windscreen-wiping water is prevented from freezing in cold months and the use of frozen windscreen-wiper water is prevented.
  • Wax expansion elements are already known, which are used for washing-water container heatings of this type, in order to heat the washing water to a desired temperature and keep it thermally controlled. These wax expansion elements have a housing portion in which the wax is provided. As soon as a cooling of the wiping water and therefore of the wax occurs, the wax changes to a solid form, with the result that reduction in volume takes place. A valve is opened via a piston, so that a heating medium can be flow through the valve and it becomes possible for the wiping water in the washing-water container to be heated. As soon as a set temperature is reached, the valve closes.
  • wax expansion elements for the control of hot-water container heatings have the disadvantage that high forces are built up during the liquefaction of the wax, the result of which is that an overcompensation of the closing movement of the valve is required in order to prevent a break-out of the housing parts or damage to the housings and inoperability.
  • these elements At the start of the heating period, these elements have high inertia, and, at the end of the heating period, there is the problem of the forces which build up sharply and which may result in damage to the housing. Overlift compensation is therefore necessary. This leads to a larger construction space.
  • the object on which the invention is based is, therefore, to provide a device for opening and closing a passage orifice present in a housing, the said device allowing a sensitive regulation of a passage orifice for a heating medium and being cost-effective in terms of production.
  • the device for opening and closing a passage orifice provided in a housing having a supply duct leading to the passage orifice and a discharge duct following the passage orifice, with a closing body which opens and closes the passage orifice and determines the throughflow quantity of a heating medium which is provided for heating a medium which at least partially surrounds the device, characterized in that the closing body is activated by an actuation element comprising a thermal head having a space filled with gaseous medium and closed by means of a diaphragm.
  • the device according to the invention has the advantage that, in order to control the throughflow quantity flowing through a passage orifice, a closing body is provided, the opening and closing movement of which is activated via an actuation element comprising a thermal head having a gas-filled space which is closed by means of a diaphragm. Activation is thereby afforded, in which the control of the throughflow quantity becomes possible at least within a state of aggregation of the sensor medium. Furthermore, by the closing body being integrated at least partially on or with the thermal head, a compact type of construction is afforded. Owing to the use of the thermal head as an actuation element, overcompensation during a closing movement is not required, as compared with wax expansion elements known hitherto. As a result, the structural unit can be simplified and can therefore be produced cost-effectively.
  • the closing body to be provided, in the direction of flow of the heating medium, in a regulating space which follows the passage orifice and from which the discharge duct branches off.
  • This arrangement and refinement affords a compact type of construction.
  • the thermal head may be adjacent to the regulating space or at least partially engage into this.
  • the arrangement of the at least one supply duct and at least one discharge duct to have the configuration of a corner version, in which the discharge duct and the supply duct are arranged at right angles to one another.
  • This refinement likewise makes it possible also to have a parallel version in which the supply duct and the discharge duct are arranged so as to run parallel in the housing or their connection orifices are oriented parallel to one another.
  • the closing body of the device advantageously has a guide portion which is received by a housing portion of the thermal head.
  • a reduction in the components can thereby be achieved, since the thermal head has to be fastened to the housing and this fastening portion advantageously at the same time forms, on the inner circumference, the housing portion which guides the closing body.
  • the closing body is arranged perpendicularly to the diaphragm which is provided in the thermal head. A maximum force effect can thereby act on the closing body via the diaphragm. Thus, even slight changes of the gas volume in the thermal head can be transmitted to the opening and closing travel of the closing body.
  • an end face of the closing body for the maximum transmission of closing force to the closing body via the diaphragm, there is advantageously provision for an end face of the closing body, the said end face pointing toward the diaphragm, to comprise at least one third of the area of the diaphragm face.
  • the area and the pressure are proportional to one another for force transmission, with the result that this arrangement allows high force transmission and therefore a reliable closing of the passage orifice.
  • the closing body prefferably has a shoulder which delimits the guide portion and which engages behind the housing portion receiving the guide portion.
  • the closing body can thereby be held captive in the thermal head, thus affording simple and rapid assembly.
  • the closing body To protect the thermal head, there is advantageously provision for the closing body to have at least one annular element which is arranged between the thermal head and a discharge duct branching off from the regulating space.
  • This element not only assumes a protective function, but can also at least seal off the regulating space.
  • this annular element may also serve for assisting the guidance of the closing body in the thermal head.
  • the regulating space may also be provision for the regulating space to have a guide portion which cooperates with a guide portion of the closing body.
  • a guide portion in the thermal head may be dispensed with or be additionally provided.
  • the sealing element on the closing body, the said sealing element delimiting the regulating space, is advantageously received in a peripheral groove and is designed as an annular element.
  • heat-resistant O-ring seals are provided, the material of which is adapted to the type of heating medium and to the ambient temperature.
  • the thermal head is positioned on the housing with respect to the regulating space, at least one sealing element being interposed. Further leaktightness is thereby achieved.
  • this sealing element which is preferably designed as an O-ring seal, may serve as an anti-twist device, in order to prevent an unwanted release of the thermal housing.
  • the closing body has a closing face which points towards the passage orifice and which bears against the valve seat of the supply duct.
  • This closing face may lie in an end face of the closing body, the said end face being formed parallel to the passage orifice, so that the closing body bears to blocking against a shoulder of the passage orifice and closes the passage orifice.
  • the closing face and a valve seat in the passage orifice may be of stepped, conical or tapered design or to be designed as ball valve. A sealing-off arrangement can thereby be afforded.
  • the closing body is guided and centred in a closed position.
  • the closing body advantageously to be of 1-part design, to have a guide portion for arrangement in the thermal head and to comprise, opposite the latter, a closing face pointing toward the passage orifice. This can give rise to a reduction in the components and to a direct force transmission which leads, in turn, to a sensitive opening and closing movement.
  • the closing body preferably has a regulating element which operates counter to the thermal head.
  • This regulating element is advantageously designed as a regulating spring or opening spring.
  • this regulating element is provided in the regulating space and to surround a reception portion of the closing body, the said reception portion being provided between a closing face and a guide portion of the closing body.

  • the diaphragm, the gas or sensor medium or the regulating element to be coordinated with one another and to be adapted to the heating temperature of the medium surrounding the device, so that the heating of the medium is ensured.
  • the diaphragm face or the end face of the closing body may also be taken into account in order to achieve an opening movement of the valve only beyond a defined temperature or in order to provide a minimum force for maintaining the closing position of the closing body.
  • the closing body is preferably produced from a thermally non-conductive material. A reliable closing function can thereby be ensured.
