Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electric heater according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a heating or air conditioning system with such a heater.
  • the waste heat of the motor vehicle engine is usually used for the heating of the vehicle interior of a motor vehicle. This waste heat arises after the vehicle engine is turned on. In a sufficient amount for the desired heat output, however, the waste heat can usually be provided only after a certain warm-up time. In addition, in modern, low-consumption motor vehicle engines, a comparatively small amount of waste heat is created. In motor vehicles with an electric motor as a drive motor, this heat source completely falls away or is considerably reduced, because the electric motor hardly generates waste heat in comparison to an internal combustion engine. It is therefore customary, especially in cold weather conditions, to use electric heaters or additional electric heaters.
  • EP 0 901 311 A2 discloses in this regard an electric heating device for motor vehicles with a plurality of block-like composite heating elements.
  • the individual heating elements are held together by a frame.
  • a control unit for electronic control of the heating power is integrated, so that the heating elements and the control unit form a common structural unit.
  • heat sinks are provided for the cooling of the control unit, which protrude into the air stream to be heated.
  • additional components are used to cool the control unit, which increases the cost and complicates the assembly.
  • An embodiment of the invention relates to an electrical heating device, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising at least one heating element and at least one control device having a housing, with at least one printed circuit board, with a first printed circuit board section and a second printed circuit board section, and with at least one first plug-in device and with at least one second plug-in device, wherein the two plug-in devices serve for connecting the at least one heating element to the control device.
  • the housing partially accommodates the at least one printed circuit board, wherein the first printed circuit board section is arranged in the housing and the second printed circuit board section projects out of the housing and the at least one first plug-in device is connected to the second printed circuit board section and the at least one second plug-in device is connected to the heating element ,
  • a printed circuit board section and / or plug-in devices arranged on a printed circuit board section and / or adjacent to a printed circuit board section protrude from the housing, permits energy-saving cooling of electrical components.
  • expensive cabling which otherwise require further material and additional space omitted.
  • the at least one first plug-in device and the at least one second plug-in device are designed to be complementary to one another and / or detachably connectable to one another.
  • An additional embodiment of the electric heating device provides that the at least one first plug-in device is soldered or crimped to the second printed circuit board section. This allows a simple and uncomplicated connection of important components of the electric heater, resulting in advantages for the installation and maintenance of the electric heater.
  • the first printed circuit board section has a part which is essentially watertight.
  • the first printed circuit board section has a part which is essentially watertight.
  • the at least one heating element has a number of positive-temperature-coefficient elements. These components of the electric heating device, also referred to as PTC elements, ensure that a comfortable temperature for vehicle occupants is quickly established in the vehicle interior and, in particular, the windscreen is free from moisture fogging.
  • the at least one heating element is formed substantially block-like and has a number of continuous, mutually parallel openings as air channels.
  • the openings advantageously allow the promotion of an air flow through the heating element. The air flow heats up and, as soon as it is directed into the vehicle interior, rapidly generates the room temperature desired there by the vehicle occupants.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the electric heating device provides that the at least one heating element has at least one heat-dissipating surface, with a number of heat-conducting fins, which increase the at least one heat-dissipating surface. Due to the surface-enlarging effect of the heat-conducting ribs, the heat transfer from the at least one heating element to the air flow conveyed through the openings arranged on the heating element is still considerably improved.
  • the at least one control device in the region of the printed circuit board has at least one connection for a power supply and / or at least one Connection for a control logic on. This allows the heater to connect in a structurally simple manner to the on-board power supply system of a motor vehicle and / or integrate it into the on-board electronics of a motor vehicle.
  • the at least one control device has at least one power transistor, in particular a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET).
  • MOSFET metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor
  • An advantageous embodiment of the heating and / or air conditioning, in particular for a motor vehicle, with an air duct provides that in the air duct designed according to the above description electrical heating device can be arranged.
  • the second printed circuit board section and / or the at least one first plug-in device and the at least one second plug-in device are or are arranged in the air duct.
  • the second printed circuit board section and / or the at least one first plug-in device and the at least one second plug-in device are or are arranged in an air flow to be heated in the air duct.
