Baumeister, Lockport, N.Y., assignors to The Carborundum Company, Niagara Falls., N.Y., a corporation of Delaware Filed Dec. 1, 1966, Ser. No. 598,455 7 Claims. (Cl. 338-330) ABSTRACT F THE DISCLOSURE An electric heating element comprising a tubular resistance body having a hot zone section and a cold end terminal section engageable with an electrical contact. A ceramic bulk fiber `filler is disposed within a controlled portion of the cold end terminal section to impede the flow of radiative heat toward the electrical contact area.
This invention relates -to heating elements and, more particularly, to terminal -assemblies used on high temperature heating elements.
One of the critical problems encountered in the utilization of heating elements is that :excessive temperatures due to thermal conductivity occurring in the electrical contact area and the inside diameter of the element a-djacent the terminal portion result in the fracturing and/or burning up of these portions causing premature failure of the heating elements.
The general purpose of the present invention is to provide a solution to the above problem by providing a new and improved terminal assembly for a heating element which permits the terminal contact .area to operate at cooler temperatures to materially increase the useful life of the heating element.
It -is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved heating element.
lt -is 'another object of the present invention to provide .ia new and improved heating element having a novel terminal assembly.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved heating element having a novel terminal assembly which is durable, rugged, and simple in construction.
It is still another object of the presen-t invention to provide a new and improved heating element having a novel terminal assembly which maintains the electrical contact area at relatively cool temperatures.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved heating element having an insulating filled disposed within the body of the element at the electrical contact area thereof.
These and other objects of the present invention will become more apparent upon consideration of the foll-owing detailed description thereof when taken in conjunction with the following drawings, in whi-ch:
FIG. 1 is a top plan View of the heating element constrncted in accord-ance with the principles of this invention;
FIG. 2 is an end elevational view of the heating element of FIG. l; and
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary sectional View of a furnace illustrating the heating element of the present invention installed therein.
Referring to the drawings in detail, -it will be seen that an electric lresistance heating element constructed in accordance with the principles of this invention comprises an elongated, hollow, tubular resist-ance body, generally designated 10, having a hot zone section 12 of a double spiral configuration, an end portion 14, and a split cold end terminal section 16. Resistance body is preferably composed of a nonmetallic resistance material such Ias very dense, high-purity, self-bonded silicon carbide.
The split cold end terminal section 16 comprises a pair of laterally space-d, elongated members or legs 18 and 20 of substantially semicircular, trough shaped cross sections (FIG. 2), forming a substantially hollow, tubular chamber :and defining a pair of diametrically opposed slots 22 and 24. Disposed in slots 22 and 24 adjacent an end portion 26 of resistance body 10 are a pair of elongated inserts or shims 28 and 30, respectively, which function as primary braces and insulators between legs 18 and 20. Although the shims are preferably formed of alumina, it should be appreciated that the principles of this invention contemplate the use of any Istrong insulating ceramic material in lieu of alumina, if desi-red. v
A ceramic bulk fiber filler 32, preferably of short staple, is provided to fill a controlled portion of the inside dianiet-er of the resistance body 10 in order to impede the flow of radiative heat in a direction toward end portion 26, thus maintaining the terminal area relatively cool. Moreover, the bulk fiber functions as a secondary brace between legs 18 and 20 to preclude an electrical short therebetween.
Means are provided for urging members 18 and 20 against shims 28 and 30, such means comprising a collar 34, preferably composed of a ceramic material and formed of four arcuate shaped members 36 having their inner surfaces, respectively, conforming to the outer cylindrical surface of resistance body 10. Also, collar 34 aids in securing the bulk fiber filler 32 in place and retaining the heating element in the heating chamber of a furnace. As shown in FIG. 2, members 36 are circumferentially spaced from each other to form openings for accommodating the yshims 28 and 30. A clamp 42`is provided for hol-ding members 36 in engagement with resistance body 10. If desired, only two substantially semi-circular members may be substituted for the four members 36 that constitute collar 34 within the purview of the present invention.
A coating of any suitable electrical conducting material `44, such as aluminum by way of example, is deposited on the exterior surface lof legs 18 and 20 `adjacent end portion 26 (FIG. l) in order to provide terminals for the resistance body 10. The coating may be sprayed onto legs 18 and 20 or it may be applied in any conventional manner well-known in the art.
End portion 26 of resistance body 10 is adapted to be mounted within a split clip type of contact 46 comprising a pair of resilient metallic tongs 48 and 50 having arcuate shaped portions 52 and 54 respectively, conforming to the louter cylindrical surfaces of legs 18 and 20. The clip 46 is composed of any suitable metal such as stainless steel or a high chrome, nickel base, heat resistant alloy for example, and may have -the inner surfaces of tongs 48 and 50 sprayed with a suitable electrical conducting material, if desired. The bottom of clip 46 is electrically and mechanically secured to a pair of electrically conducting terminal straps 56 and 58 and mounted on la base 60, composed of a suitable insulating material, by means of bolt and nut combinations 62, respectively.
One manner of installing the heating element of the present `invention is exemplified in FIG. 3 which shows the heating element protruding into the side wall 64 of a high temperature electric furnace, Normally, a terminal tube 68, formed `of a suitable high dielectric insulating material, is snugly fitted `into a bore 69 of the furnace and envelopes a portion of the resistance body 10 to preclude the possible shorting of the terminal ends caused by the full element voltage which exists along the entire length of the terminal. Resistance body 10 is loosely fitted into the terminal tube 68 (shown exaggerated in FIG. 3) in Iorder to facilitate the replacement of the heating element in a furnace installation. The terminal tube 68 is provided with a flange 70 abutting against the exterior surface of the furnace wall and the collar 34 of the heating element is disposed flush against the flange 70. It should be appreciated that collar 34 may be formed integral with the terminal tube 68, if desired, w-ithin the scope of the present invention.
As a result of the present linvention, a new and improved heating `element is provided having a novel terminal assembly for minimizing heat radiation in the electrical cont-act area. By the provision fo a ceramic collar, the heating element is held together and in place in a furnace installation and the electrical contact area is disposed exteriorly olf the furnace walls. Moreover, the element can be mounted to hang vertically downwardly from the roof of a furnace or project up through the bott-om of a furnace chamber. In lthe latter case, however, auxiliary support means would tbe necessary to maintain the element in an upright position.
Another :advantage residing in the device of the present invention is the provision of a thermal insulating ceramic bulk fiber ii-ller lwithin a vcontrolled portion of the inside ydiameter of the resistance body for preventing heat flow toward the electrical contact area.
A preferred embodiment of this invention having been described and illustrated, it is to be -realized that modifications thereof may be made without departing from the broad spirit and scope of this invention as defined in the appended claims.
