Heizblock  heating block

Beschreibung description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Heizblock, insbesondere für einen elektrischen Durchlauferhitzer, nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 , wobei der Heizblock ein Gehäuse hat, in dem mäanderartige Heizkanäle zur Definierung einer Heizstrecke für ein Fluid ausgebildet sind, sowie Heizelemente zum Erhitzen des durch die Heizkanäle strömenden Fluids aufweist. Ein derartiger Heizblock ist z.B. in dem deutschen Patent DE 102 21 026 B4 gezeigt. Dieser hat ein dreiteiliges Gehäuse, das von einem Grundkörper und zwei Deckeln gebildet wird. In dem Grundkörper sind parallele Heizkanäle ausgebildet, die an entgegengesetzten Seitenflächen stirnseitig aus dem Grundkörper heraustreten. Die Heizkanäle sind über die Deckel verschließbar, in denen eine Vielzahl von Umlenkbereichen zur Herstellung einer Fluidverbindung zwischen den jeweils benachbarten Heizkanälen angeordnet ist. Zum Einführen der Heizelemente in die Heizkanäle ist jeweils ein schalenartiges, längliches Halteelement vorgesehen, in das die Heizelemente endseitig jeweils eingespannt werden. Nachteilig an diesem Heizblock sind insbesondere die hohe Teileanzahl aufgrund der Vielzahl von Halteelementen und die aufwendige Montage, da jedes Heizelement einzeln in einen Heizkanal eingeführt wird. Ferner werden bei dieser Lösung die Heizelemente nicht um die Umlenkbereiche herumgeführt, so dass entsprechend viele elektrische Kontakte vorgesehen sein müssen und die Verdrahtung entsprechend aufwendig ist. Zur Erhöhung der Kompaktheit eines Heizblocks mit einem derartigen dreiteiligen Gehäuse wird in dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster DE 201 08 1 17 U1 vorgeschlagen, die Umlenkbereiche abschnittsweise in den Grundkörper zu integrieren. The present invention relates to a heating block, in particular for an electric water heater, according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein the heating block has a housing in which meandering heating channels are designed for defining a heating path for a fluid, and heating elements for heating the flowing through the heating channels Having fluids. Such a heating block is e.g. in German Patent DE 102 21 026 B4. This has a three-part housing, which is formed by a base body and two lids. In the main body parallel heating channels are formed, the front side emerge on opposite side surfaces of the body. The heating channels can be closed by means of the covers, in which a multiplicity of deflection regions are arranged for establishing a fluid connection between the respectively adjacent heating channels. For introducing the heating elements in the heating channels, a shell-like, elongated retaining element is provided in each case, in which the heating elements are respectively clamped end. A disadvantage of this heating block are in particular the high number of parts due to the large number of holding elements and the complex assembly, since each heating element is introduced individually into a heating channel. Furthermore, in this solution, the heating elements are not guided around the deflection, so that a corresponding number of electrical contacts must be provided and the wiring is correspondingly expensive. To increase the compactness of a heating block with such a three-part housing is proposed in the German utility model DE 201 08 1 17 U1 to integrate the deflection partially sections in the body.

In dem deutschen Patent DE 196 51 087 C2 der Anmelderin wird ein Heizblock für einen elektrischen Durchlauferhitzer vorgeschlagen, dessen Gehäuse aus zwei Halbschalen besteht. Die Halbschalen trennen das Gehäuse in einer von seiner Längsachse und Querachse aufgespannten Ebene und weisen jeweils einen Umfangsabschnitt der Heizkanäle und deren Umlenkbereiche auf. Hierdurch können die Heizelemente von oben in die Heizkanäle eingelegt werden, wodurch sich der Montageaufwand gegenüber dem vorbeschriebenen Heizblock stark vereinfacht. Insbesondere können die Heizelemente um die Umlenkbereiche herumgeführt werden, so dass gegenüber den vorbeschriebenen Lösungen nur eine reduzierte Anzahl von elektrischen Kontakten notwendig ist. Die Halbschalen werden stoffschlüssig miteinander verbunden, jedoch ist insbesondere das Verschweißen der Gehäusehalbschalen mittels eines Reibschweißverfahrens verhältnismäßig kompliziert und erfordert hohe Einrichtungs- und Optimierungsarbeiten. In the German patent DE 196 51 087 C2 of the applicant, a heating block for an electric water heater is proposed, the housing consists of two half-shells. The half shells separate the housing in a plane spanned by its longitudinal axis and transverse axis and each have a peripheral portion of the Heating channels and their deflection on. As a result, the heating elements can be inserted from above into the heating channels, which greatly simplifies the assembly effort compared to the above-described heating block. In particular, the heating elements can be guided around the deflecting regions, so that only a reduced number of electrical contacts is necessary in comparison with the previously described solutions. The half-shells are materially connected to each other, but in particular the welding of the housing half-shells by means of a friction welding process is relatively complicated and requires high furnishing and optimization work.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Heizblock, insbesondere für einen elektrischen Durchlauferhitzer, zu schaffen, der die vorgenannten Nachteile beseitigt und dessen Fertigungs- sowie Montageaufwand weiter reduziert ist. Object of the present invention is to provide a heating block, in particular for an electric water heater, which eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and whose manufacturing and assembly costs is further reduced.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch einen Heizblock mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 . Vorteilhafte Aus- und Weiterbildungen, welche einzeln oder in Kombination miteinander ersetzbar sind, sind Gegenstand der jeweils abhängigen Ansprüche. This object is achieved by a heating block having the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments, which are individually or in combination replaceable with each other, are the subject of the respective dependent claims.

Ein erfindungsgemäßer Heizblock, insbesondere für einen elektrisch beheizten Durchlauferhitzer, hat ein Gehäuse, in dem mäanderartig angeordnete Heizkanäle zur Definierung einer Heizstrecke für ein Fluid ausgebildet sind. Darüber hinaus weist der Heizblock Heizelemente zum Erhitzen des durch die Heizkanäle strömenden Fluids auf. Erfindungsgemäß ist das Gehäuse von einem Behälter mit einer seitlichen Öffnung und von einem Deckel zum Verschließen der Öffnung gebildet, wobei der Deckel Vorsprünge aufweist, an denen die Heizelemente angeordnet sind. An inventive heating block, in particular for an electrically heated instantaneous water heater, has a housing in which meandering heating channels are arranged for defining a heating path for a fluid. In addition, the heating block has heating elements for heating the fluid flowing through the heating channels. According to the invention, the housing is formed by a container having a lateral opening and by a lid for closing the opening, wherein the lid has projections on which the heating elements are arranged.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung erlaubt die einfache und zeitsparende Montage des Gehäuses, da die Heizelemente beim Positionieren des Deckels und somit beim Verschließen des Gehäuses gleichzeitig in die Heizkanäle eingeführt werden, wobei eine Fehlpositionierung in den Heizkanälen und eine Beschädigung der Heizelemente nicht zu befürchten ist. Des Weiteren ist die Montage des Heizblocks dadurch erleichtert, dass dieser lediglich aus zwei Gehäuseteilen besteht, die getrennt voneinander, beispielsweise in einem Spritzgussverfahren, hergestellt werden können und nur verhältnismäßig kleine Dichtflächen aufweisen. Eine Fügung der Gehäuseteile kann beispielsweise lösbar über Schrauben erfolgen, so dass ein defektes Heizelement schnell ausgetauscht werden kann. Eine aufwendige stoffschlüssige Verbindung basierend auf einem Schweißverfahren, bspw. einem Reibschweißverfahren, oder einem Klebeprozess ist zur Erzielung einer ausreichenden Dichtheit aufgrund der verhältnismäßig kleinen Dichtflächen nicht notwendig. Ferner zeichnet sich diese Lösung durch eine sehr gute Zugänglichkeit zu den Heizelementen aus, da diese beim Öffnen des Heizblocks automatisch aus den Heizkanälen entfernt werden. The solution according to the invention allows easy and time-saving assembly of the housing, since the heating elements are simultaneously introduced into the heating channels during positioning of the lid and thus when closing the housing, with a mispositioning in the heating channels and damage to the heating elements is not to be feared. Furthermore, the assembly of the heating block is facilitated by the fact that this consists only of two housing parts, which can be made separately, for example in an injection molding process, and only have relatively small sealing surfaces. An addition of the housing parts, for example, releasably over Screwing done so that a defective heating element can be replaced quickly. A complex cohesive connection based on a welding process, for example a friction welding process, or an adhesive process is not necessary to achieve a sufficient tightness due to the relatively small sealing surfaces. Furthermore, this solution is characterized by a very good accessibility to the heating elements, since they are automatically removed when opening the heating block from the heating channels.

Bei einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel stellen die Vorsprünge jeweils eine Zwischenwand dar, die U-förmig von den Heizelementen umgriffen ist. Die Zwischenwände sind in jeweils eine Tasche des Behälters einführbar und unterteilt diese in zwei Heizkanäle. Hierdurch lassen sich jeweils zwei Heizkanäle über ein Heizelement bedienen, wobei gleichzeitig in deren Umlenkbereich ein Heizelementenabschnitt angeordnet ist. Entsprechend reduziert ist die Anzahl notwendiger elektrischer Kontakte zur Stromversorgung der Heizelemente. In a preferred embodiment, the projections each represent an intermediate wall which is encompassed by the heating elements in a U-shape. The intermediate walls can be inserted into one pocket of the container and subdivided into two heating channels. In this way, each two heating channels can be operated via a heating element, wherein at the same time in the deflection of a Heizelementenabschnitt is arranged. The number of necessary electrical contacts for the power supply of the heating elements is correspondingly reduced.

Zur Lagesicherung der Heizelemente an den Zwischenwänden können diese entsprechende Führungen aufweisen. To secure the position of the heating elements on the intermediate walls, these may have corresponding guides.

Bevorzugterweise sind die Taschen des Behälters von Trennwänden gebildet, die sich jeweils vom Boden des Behälters in Richtung der Öffnung erstrecken, so dass Querströmungen zwischen den einzelnen Heizkanälen verhindert werden. Preferably, the pockets of the container are formed by partitions, each extending from the bottom of the container towards the aperture so as to prevent cross flows between the individual heating channels.

Zur Erzielung einer kompakten Baugröße des Heizblocks sind bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel die Trennwände von der Öffnung zurückgesetzt, so dass die deckelseitigen Umlenkbereiche zumindest abschnittsweise in den Behälter ragen. In order to achieve a compact size of the heating block, in one exemplary embodiment, the partitions are set back from the opening, so that the cover-side deflecting areas protrude at least in sections into the container.

Der Heizblock ist besonders kompakt ausführbar, wenn die Trennwände und die Zwischenwände im montierten Zustand abwechselnd nebeneinander angeordnet sind, so dass die Heizkanäle unmittelbar nebeneinander verlaufen. The heating block is particularly compact executable when the partitions and the intermediate walls are arranged alternately adjacent to each other in the assembled state, so that the heating channels run directly next to each other.

Die Montage des Heizblocks lässt sich weiter vereinfachen, wenn die Taschen jeweils zumindest eine Längsführung zum Einsetzen der jeweiligen Zwischenwand zur Herstellung eines Schiebeeingriffs zwischen dem Behälter und dem Deckel aufweisen. Hierdurch kann ebenfalls eine bestimmte seitliche Beabstandung der Heizelemente von den Trenn-, Zwischenwänden und sonstigen die Heizkanäle begrenzenden Wandungen erreicht werden, so dass die Heizelemente vollumfänglich von dem zu erwärmenden Fluid umströmt werden können. Vorteilhafterweise sind die Längsführungen derart ausgebildet, dass entlang der geführten Zwischenwände Querströmungen zwischen den Heizkanälen verhindert werden. The assembly of the heating block can be further simplified if the pockets each have at least one longitudinal guide for insertion of the respective intermediate wall for producing a sliding engagement between the container and the lid. In this way, also a certain lateral spacing of the heating elements of the separating walls, intermediate walls and other walls bounding the heating channels can be achieved, so that the heating elements can be completely surrounded by the fluid to be heated. Advantageously, the longitudinal guides are designed such that transverse flows between the heating channels are prevented along the guided partition walls.

Um zu verhindern, dass beim Austreten des Fluids im Bereich eines Einlassstutzens und eines Auslassstutzens, die mit einem gehäuseseitigen Vorlaufkanal bzw. einem Nachlaufkanal in Fluidverbindung stehen, ein elektrischer Kurzschluss entsteht, sind die Stutzen bevorzugterweise an von elektrischen Kontakten entfernt liegenden Gehäuseabschnitten positioniert. Dies wird bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel dadurch erreicht, dass der Deckel die elektrischen Kontakte zur Stromversorgung und der Behälter den Einlass- und Auslassstutzen aufweist. Dabei wird ein größtmöglicher Abstand zwischen den Kontakten und den Stutzen erreicht, wenn die Stutzen in einem von dem Deckel entfernt liegenden bodennahen Bereich des Behälters angeordnet sind. In order to prevent the occurrence of an electrical short circuit in the event of leakage of the fluid in the region of an inlet nozzle and an outlet nozzle, which are in fluid communication with a housing-side flow channel or a run-up channel, the nozzles are preferably positioned on housing sections remote from electrical contacts. This is achieved in one embodiment in that the cover has the electrical contacts for power supply and the container has the inlet and outlet ports. In this case, the greatest possible distance between the contacts and the nozzle is achieved when the nozzles are arranged in a remote from the lid near the bottom of the container.

Die Kompaktheit des Heizblocks lässt sich weiter verbessern, wenn der Vorlaufkanal und der Nachlaufkanal in Randbereichen des Behälters ausgebildet sind und die äußeren Heizkanäle seitlich flankieren. The compactness of the heating block can be further improved if the flow channel and the outlet channel are formed in edge regions of the container and flank the outer heating channels laterally.

Darüber hinaus lässt sich die Kompaktheit des Heizblocks verbessern, wenn die elektrischen Kontaktelemente als Kontaktbolzen ausgebildet sind, die sich quer zu den Heizelementen bzw. zur Gehäuselängsachse erstrecken, so dass eine platzsparende Montage einer Leistungselektronik auf den Kontaktbolzen möglich ist. In addition, the compactness of the heating block can be improved if the electrical contact elements are designed as contact pins, which extend transversely to the heating elements or to the housing longitudinal axis, so that a space-saving installation of power electronics on the contact pin is possible.

Die vorliegende Erfindung eignet sich insbesondere zur Bereitstellung eines kompakten Heizblocks für einen elektrischen Durchlauferhitzer, der schnell und einfach herzustellen ist und einen einfachen Austausch eines defekten Heizelementes erlaubt. Sonstige vorteilhafte Ausführungsbeispiele der vorliegenden Erfindung sind Gegenstand weiterer Unteransprüche.
