Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pluggable quartz infrared heater with a housing and at least one heating element arranged therein, with electrical connections, plug connections on the rear of the housing and with a heat-resistant, insulating holder for the heating element or elements in the housing.
  • Such a quartz infrared radiator is known from DE-O 36 19 919.
  • both mechanical and electrical plug connections are arranged independently of one another on the rear of the housing.
  • the pluggability of the quartz infrared heater already has enormous advantages over the hitherto customary wiring, in the known pluggable quartz infrared heater the electrical connections from the heating elements are still conventional in an insulating holder for the heating elements Plug contacts arranged on the rear side of the housing are routed there and are connected to the associated part of a plug or a socket.
  • the electrical plug-in connection on the rear of the housing must generally provide heat-resistant electrical insulation for the connection to the electrical connections of the heating elements, which are made in accordance with the usual requirements for thermal resistance, insulation capability and mechanical properties , consists of a ceramic housing for the connector.
  • the arrangement and attachment of such a plug connection with a ceramic housing on the back of an infrared radiator means an additional outlay in the manufacture of the quartz infrared radiators, which were otherwise provided on their rear side only with connecting wires insulated by a series of ceramic sleeves.
  • the present invention has the object Reasons to create a pluggable quartz infrared radiator with the features mentioned above, which is easier and cheaper to manufacture than the known pluggable quartz infrared radiator.
  • the heat-resistant, insulating holder has a space for receiving at least part of a plug connection and at least one opening for carrying out a part of a plug connection that is not accommodated in the space, which preferably protrudes from the rear of the housing .
  • This advantageously combines the function of a heat-resistant insulating holder, which is provided for the heating elements of the quartz infrared radiator anyway, with a holder for the plug connection, so that part of the plug connection is provided in the space provided for this purpose the heating element holder is received and held, while another part of the plug connection extends from this space through the opening also provided on the holder and protrudes on the back of the housing, so that this protruding part immediately with a suitable one Counterpart, which is arranged on a mounting plate, for example, can be plugged together.
  • part of a plug connection can also extend from the mounting plate in the direction of the infrared radiator, which is pushed into the opening when it is brought together with the infrared radiator, as a result of which the connection with the plug connection part accommodated in the space of the holder is established.
  • an embodiment of the invention is preferred in which the protruding part of the plug connection and the part of the plug connection accommodated in the space of the holder are connected to one another in one piece.
  • plug-in connection parts are L-shaped form angled tab, the first leg of which is continuously accommodated in the space provided for the holder and the second leg of which is passed through the opening of the holder, emerges on the rear of the housing and can be plugged together with a suitable counterpart.
  • plug connection in the sense of this application is to be interpreted in such a way that it includes both a connection consisting of a socket and a plug and a plug or a socket on its own, insofar as it is consist of a part received in the space of the holder and protruding from the holder and also from the rear of the housing.
  • the holder according to the present invention has space for parts of two plug connections.
  • an electrical heating element requires two electrical connections which expediently end on one and the same holder and merge into the two plug connections arranged on this holder.
  • the preferred embodiment of an infrared radiator according to the present invention also has two brackets for heating elements arranged on opposite side walls of a housing, but only one of these brackets has both necessary plug connections.
  • the two opposite brackets or parts thereof can be designed identically and have the corresponding space for receiving plug-in connections without the need for plug-in connections on both brackets.
  • This can be particularly useful for manufacturing reasons, since it reduces the number of different parts to be manufactured.
  • the holder is designed in two parts on one side of the housing, the two parts lying flat against one another in the fully assembled state and having cutouts in their contact surfaces which lie opposite one another and thus the space for the parts of Define plug connections.
  • the two parts of a holder are taken apart, then the corresponding parts of a plug connection are simply inserted into the recesses provided by the contact surface, and the second part of the holder with its recesses is suitably placed over it, so that the plug connection parts are accommodated in the space which is formed overall by the opposite cutouts. It is also expedient if at least one slot extends from the recesses to the side of the holder parts facing the rear wall of the housing, as a result of which an opening for the passage of a plug-in connection part is formed from the room to the outside of the housing.
  • the aforementioned L-shaped angled tab can also be inserted with its one leg into the corresponding space from the contact surface of one of the parts, the other leg of the L-angled connector then extending outward through the slot. As soon as the two parts of the holder with the inserted plug connection parts lie against one another, they are inserted into the housing and fastened in this state.
  • the holder is preferably made of ceramic, since ceramic is a very good heat-resistant and at the same time electrically well-insulating material, which also has sufficient mechanical strength for receiving and holding the heating elements and also the plug parts.
  • the housing has a continuous rear wall, at least one opening in the rear wall of the housing must of course be provided at the level of the holder, it being particularly advantageous if it extends from the edge of the opening and parallel and at least one tab extends into the housing interior at a distance from opposite side walls of the housing. This tab can be used for fastening the holder.
  • the distance between the tab and a side wall corresponds to the thickness of the holder, the opening being arranged in the rear wall of the housing between the tab and this side wall.
  • the holder can thus be fitted between the tab and a housing side wall, part of its side facing the rear wall being located exactly above or below the opening in the rear wall of the housing so that the protruding connector parts can be provided at this point.
  • the holder also has at least one continuous transverse opening which runs essentially parallel to the rear edge of the housing and the heating element or the heating elements.
  • Fastening elements can extend through such a transverse opening to the housing side wall or to a tab.
  • the tab and the side wall have openings which are aligned with one another and with the continuous transverse opening, since in this way the holder can be riveted to the tab and the housing side wall in a simple manner. In this way, it is advantageously avoided that the rivet ends press directly on the holder, which can easily lead to breakage of the latter, particularly with ceramic holders.
  • the two ends of the rivet engage the side wall or a tab, these being pressed against the intermediate holder and at the same time distributing the forces exerted by the rivet over a larger area of the holder.
  • the transverse opening in the holder can also be reinforced by a metal sleeve.
  • the part lying against the housing side wall is wider in the direction perpendicular to the rear wall of the housing than the other part of the holder and has a receptacle for heating elements in its projecting area.
  • the space for receiving plug-in connection parts then lies in the area in which the two parts of the holder lie one on top of the other, while, independently of this, a receptacle for the heating elements is provided in the projecting area of one part of the holder.
  • This part lying on the side wall with the receptacle for the heating elements can then be used as an ordinary holder for heating elements, regardless of the arrangement of plug-in connection parts.
  • the second part of a holder is simply added, which must be located in the area in which it connects to the rear wall of the housing, since plug parts are to extend through the rear wall of the housing .
  • the space for receiving the plug connection and the corresponding parts of the holder are thus in the area between the heating elements and the rear wall of the housing.
  • the electrical connections of the heating elements are preferably connected directly to the plug connection parts accommodated in the space of the holder, preferably by welding.
  • the connection must be sufficiently heat-resistant and electrically safe.
  • the heat dissipation via such plug connections is sufficiently good so that the temperatures at the plug contacts remain below 300 ° C., so that a plug connection can be realized with commercially available flat plugs.
  • a mechanical plug pin is also arranged on the rear edge of the housing, which has a resilient plug socket which, for example, is at a suitable distance from the electrical plug parts on a mounting plate is arranged, can be inserted.
  • FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through a quartz infrared radiator.

  • the parts 6 'of the holder 6 are arranged on opposite side walls 12 of the housing 1 of a quartz infrared radiator.
  • the holder 6 shown on the right side of FIG. 1 consists of two parts 6 'and 6 ", the part 6' being device perpendicular to the bottom 15 of the housing 1 is wider or higher than the part 6 ", so that the heating elements 2 protrude beyond the part 6" into the receptacle 16 of the part 6 '.
  • Bores 13, 13 * run essentially parallel to the heating element 2 through the parts 6 1 and 6 ".
  • the part 6 ' Around the bore 13, the part 6 'has a cylindrical extension 19 which fits into a radial extension Extension of the bore 13 'engages on the part 6 ", so that the two parts 6 * and 6" are fixed relative to one another after the engagement.
  • a metal sleeve 18 which projects beyond the extension 19 Has flange, so that the part 6 'can be fastened with a rivet to the side wall 12 of the housing 1.
  • the two-part holder 6 is inserted in the assembled state between a side wall 12 and a tab 11 bent up from the bottom 15 of the housing 1, so that the parts 6 1 and 6 "remain in firm engagement with one another.
  • a rivet for fastening the bracket 6 can also be arranged.
  • FIG. 2 it can be seen that a whole series of heating elements 2 can be arranged side by side in a housing 1 of a quartz infrared radiator.
