Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a temperature monitor a bimetal rear derailleur that switches at overtemperature and a heating resistor connected to it, which in the sense of a Self-holding function acts and is formed on a film, which is intended for electrical insulation.
  • Such a temperature monitor is for example from the EP-A-0 507 425 known.
  • the rear derailleur is below Intermediate layer of an insulating film in a metal housing, wherein the insulating film on the one hand a mating contact fixed to the housing insulated from the metal housing and on the other hand one Heating resistor carries.
  • a bimetal switchgear is placed with the interposition of the insulating film in the assembly of the known temperature monitor in a one-piece Metal housing, whereupon the section in is filled with a resin near the connections.
  • the known temperature monitor consequently has a complicated one Build up so that final assembly is difficult.

  • the parallel resistor is a carbon resistor, it can the lid itself is made of a mechanically more stable material exist, but the temperature monitor has other disadvantages on. In particular with a carbon resistor it can occur that the bimetal rear derailleur as a result of too high Temperature development of the coal resistance irreparably destroyed becomes. This is parallel with a PTC resistor switched heating resistor not possible because the PTC resistor due to its temperature-dependent resistance value, which increases with increasing temperature, in its temperature output is adjustable, or regulates itself, so that irreversible damage to the rear derailleur as a result of Overheating in self-holding mode is avoided.

Stands at the same time this temperature monitor in a known manner in thermal Connection with the consumer to be monitored. Increases the operating current of the consumer due to a defect in inadmissible, the thick-film resistor connected in series heats up the switchgear so far that it opens, so that the PTC resistor connected in parallel the current takes over. Because of the high resistance of the PTC resistor the operating current of the consumer now rises a harmless measure back, but sufficient, over the Ohmic power loss in the PTC resistor one Maintain temperature that opens the rear derailleur. Of course, the well-known temperature monitor also opens then when the consumer is too high a temperature, whereupon the bimetal rear derailleur also opens and the PTC resistor takes over the current and a temperature that keeps the temperature monitor open.
  • This temperature monitor is a relatively bulky and large construction, which in particular is due to the ceramic base plate.
