Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pump, in particular for water-bearing domestic appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines or the like according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the known heating pumps include so-called tubular heaters, which are arranged either outside of the pump housing in heat-conducting contact or else in the interior of the pump housing through which water flows.
  • the tubular heater is usually soldered.
  • the invention has the object to propose a heating pump, which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the invention is characterized in that the housing is at least partially made of plastic and the heating device is at least partially positively connected to the plastic of the housing.
  • the integration of the heating device in the pump housing is significantly simplified and thus cheaper to manufacture.
  • the plastic of the pump housing is molded onto the heating device.
  • the positive connection can thus be formed in one operation in the manufacture of the pump housing or the housing part, which is to be connected to the heating device in an injection process. This eliminates separate manufacturing operations for the connection and pump housing.
  • the heating device is arranged in the interior of the pump housing. This brings on the one hand the advantage that the heat transfer from the heating device in the liquid-flow-through interior of the pump housing does not have the plastic material of the pump housing, but takes place directly from the pump heater to the liquid in the interior of the pump housing. As a result, the requirements on the temperature resistance of the plastic used for the pump housing are significantly lower, since the pump housing is cooled by the liquid flow, while the liquid is heated.
  • the heating device is arranged in the pump housing such that the connection ends of the heating device pass through the plastic of the pump housing.
  • the heating device is formed so that it has a heating zone, which is spaced from the plastic.
  • the heat generation of the heating device takes place primarily in this heating zone and thus spaced from the plastic.
  • the thermal load of the plastic, which is positively attached to the heating device, preferably in the region of the terminal ends considerably reduced.
  • this in turn can make the plastic material of a less heat-resistant material, on the other hand, the risk of a defect is reduced by excessive heat on the plastic or completely avoided.
  • a contact zone is furthermore provided for contact with the plastic of the housing, the operating temperature of the contact zone being lower than the operating temperature of the heating zone.
  • the low-temperature contact zone is provided in the region of the connection elements, which lie positively against the plastic of the pump housing.
  • the entire wall of the pump housing made of plastic is formed in this area and penetrated by the designed as a low-temperature contact zone terminal areas of the heating device.
  • connection of the heating device can thus be accomplished without problems outside the pump housing.
  • the heating device can be injected at any point after each structural design of the pump housing in the corresponding component of the pump housing. Accordingly, the heating device can be injected into a hollow shape of the pump housing forming the pump chamber or else into a cover to close off a pump housing. A connection in the region of the side walls is possible with the positive connection of the heating device according to the invention to a plastic region of the pump housing.
  • the heating device may comprise a tubular heater as a heating element as in known heating pumps.
  • a tubular heater as a heating element as in known heating pumps.
  • Such tubular heaters have proven to be a in terms of the heating effect, on the other hand, with regard to the electrical insulation already when using heating pumps or water heaters.
  • a preferred arrangement of the heating device may consist in that the heating element of the heating device surrounds an inlet connection to the pump. This allows a Pump construction, in which the heating element at least partially surrounds an axial inlet line at the end. On the opposite end then the arrangement of the pump motor can be easily arranged, for example, with the implementation of a drive shaft to a pump.
  • the heating element itself is preferably surrounded in the flow channel of the liquid to be pumped by this, so that there is an optimal thermal contact.
  • Such a flow channel can be formed by appropriate shaping in the pump housing.
  • specially shaped flow channels which surround the impeller, are advantageous.
  • such a specially shaped flow channel can be adapted with regard to its shape, in particular with regard to its cross section to the impeller and with respect to the efficiency, to an optimal pumping behavior.
  • such a flow channel is formed in the flow direction with increasing cross-section. This leads to a volumetric flow which increases in the direction of circulation and which is accelerated by the pump impeller and conveyed outwards into the flow channel.
  • Such a design of the pump ensures good efficiency.
  • an axial offset between the heating device and impeller is further provided.
  • Such an arrangement allows a certain distance between impeller and heating device, so that a good flow around the heating device is ensured by radially circulating liquid during the pumping operation.
  • the pump 1 comprises a two-part pump housing 2.
  • the hollow-shaped main part 4 of the pump housing 2 enclosing the pump chamber 3 is closed by a cover 5.
  • the main part 4 of the pump housing 2 comprises an inlet connection 6, which is arranged axially and impinges on a pump impeller 7.
  • the impeller 7 is formed as a hollow mold with pump blades 8.
  • the impeller 7 opens radially into a flow channel 9, which has an enlarging cross-section towards the outlet connection 10.
  • a tubular heater is arranged as a heating element 11 in the interior of the flow channel 9, that it is flowed around from all sides. Behind the inlet nozzle 6, one of the connecting elements 12 can be seen, which passes through the wall of the main part 4.
  • a motor housing 13 for receiving a drive motor for the impeller 7, not shown.
  • connection elements 12, 14 can be seen.
  • the part of the pump housing 2 which surrounds the heating device in a form-fitting manner is made of plastic.
  • this is the main part 4 of the pump housing 2, which is penetrated by the connecting elements 12, 14.
  • the heating element 11 is designed such that only the area spaced from the pump housing 2 is formed as a heating zone.
  • a low-temperature contact zone is formed so that the plastic of the pump housing 2 and the main part 4 of the pump housing 2 is thermally less loaded and thus in the event of accidental dry running of the pump switched heater the risk of a defect is prevented by melting the pump housing in the field of positive engagement with the heater.
  • the heating pump according to the invention allows an internal heating element with heating element 11 flowing around on all sides and at least in the region of the heating zone, whereby a high efficiency of the heating device with good heat transfer is ensured. Due to the positive connection with a plastic portion of the housing, a reliable seal with simple and therefore cost-effective production is ensured. In the case of a heating pump according to the invention, it is possible to inject the heating element into the housing in an injection process, thereby eliminating the need for separate assembly steps and sealing measures in the area of the pump housing.
