Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zündvorrichtung für Gaswasserheizer nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.
Gaswasserheizer dienen der Trinkwassererwärmung im Durchlaufverfahren. Bekannte Gaswasserheizer besitzen eine Brennkammer, die einen Zündbrenner, einen Hauptbrenner sowie einen Wärmetauscher umfasst. Am im Randbereich des Hauptbrenners angeordneten Zündbrenner brennt eine permanent brennende Zündflamme geringer Leistung, die dem Zünden des Hauptbrenners dient. Der Hauptbrenner dient dem Verbrennen eines Gas-Luft-Gemischs, das bei einer Wärmeanforderung in entsprechender Größe freigegeben wird. Die bei der Verbrennung entstehenden Heizgase geben ihre Wärmeenergie über den Wärmetauscher an den Trinkwasserstrom ab.
Eine übliche Methode, den Zündbrenner in solchen Gaswasserheizern zu zünden, ist die Funkenzündung. Hierbei wird auf Knopfdruck sowohl der Zündgasstrom freigegeben als auch der Zündfunken generiert. Als Energiequelle für den Zündfunken dient oft eine Batterie, so kann auf einen elektrischen Anschluss an das allgemeine Stromnetz verzichtet und der Gaswasserheizer autark betrieben werden. Allerdings muss in regelmäßigen Abständen die Batterie ausgetauscht werden, die darüber hinaus als Abfall eine erhebliche Umweltbelastung darstellt.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Zündvorrichtung zu schaffen, die einerseits keinen festen elektrischen Anschluss benötigt, andererseits aber auch auf Batterien als Energiequelle verzichtet.The invention relates to an ignition device for gas water heater according to the preamble of
Gas water heaters are used to heat drinking water in a continuous process. Known gas water heaters have a combustion chamber comprising a pilot burner, a main burner and a heat exchanger. At the arranged in the edge region of the main burner pilot burner burns a permanently burning pilot light low power, which serves to ignite the main burner. The main burner is used to burn a gas-air mixture, which is released at a heat request in the appropriate size. The combustion gases produced during combustion release their heat energy via the heat exchanger to the drinking water stream.
A common way to ignite the pilot burner in such gas water heaters is spark ignition. At the push of a button, both the ignition gas flow is released and the spark is generated. As a source of energy for the spark is often used a battery, it can be dispensed with an electrical connection to the general power grid and operate the gas water heater self-sufficient. However, the battery must be replaced at regular intervals, which also represents a significant environmental impact as waste.
The invention has for its object to provide an igniter, on the one hand requires no fixed electrical connection, but on the other hand also dispensed with batteries as an energy source.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dies mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.
Der konstruktive Aufbau der Zündvorrichtung ist gekennzeichnet durch einen Mechanismus, bei dem die Bewegung eines manuell zu betätigenden Bedienelements zur kurzzeitigen Spannungserzeugung verwendet wird. Diese Spannung dient der Bildung eines Funkens, mit dem ein Gas-Luft-Gemisch am Zündbrenner oder am Hauptbrenner gezündet wird.This is achieved with the features of
The structural design of the ignition device is characterized by a mechanism in which the movement of a manually operated control element is used for short-term power generation. This voltage is used to form a spark, with which a gas-air mixture is ignited at the pilot burner or the main burner.
In einer ersten Ausführungsvariante vollführt das vom Gerätebetreiber betätigte Bedienelement eine lineare Bewegung, in einer zweiten eine rotierende Bewegung. Dabei kann diese Bewegung durch eine mechanische Übersetzung wiederum in eine lineare oder rotierende Antriebsbewegung eines Spannungsgenerators umgesetzt werden. Dem entsprechend sind als Spannungsgenerator Linear- oder Rotationsgeneratoren denkbar. Im Sinne einer Funktionsintegration kann das Bedienelement neben seiner Einbindung in die Zündvorrichtung noch eine weitere Einstellfunktion für den Betrieb des Gaswasserheizers, wie zum Beispiel die eines Temperaturwählers, erfüllen.
Mit dieser Erfindung wird eine Zündvorrichtung geschaffen, die einerseits keinen festen elektrischen Anschluss benötigt, andererseits aber auch auf Batterien als Energiequelle verzichtet. Bei Belegung vorhandener Bedienelemente mit einer Doppelfunktion kann auf ein zusätzliches Bedienelement zur Spannungserzeugung verzichtet werden.In a first embodiment variant, the operating element actuated by the device operator performs a linear movement, in a second embodiment a rotating movement. In this case, this movement can be converted by a mechanical translation in turn into a linear or rotary drive movement of a voltage generator. Accordingly, as a voltage generator linear or rotary generators are conceivable. In the sense of functional integration, the control element, in addition to its integration into the ignition device, can fulfill a further adjustment function for the operation of the gas water heater, such as that of a temperature selector.
With this invention, an ignition device is provided, on the one hand requires no fixed electrical connection, but on the other hand also dispensed with batteries as an energy source. When occupying existing controls with a dual function can be dispensed with an additional control element for voltage generation.
