  • the PTC elements can be glued to these tracks. It is also possible to apply the printed conductors under prestress against the PTC heating elements. In any case, it must be ensured that there is good contact between the conductor tracks and the PTC heating elements for decoupling the heat generated by the PTC heating elements and for coupling in current.
  • One or more heat-generating elements may be provided as part of the heating block.
  • the heat generated by the heat-generating elements is discharged through heat-emitting elements to the medium to be heated, ie the air.

  • the contact surface for the PTC heating elements are designed to be electrically conductive and electrically connected to the housing usually held in isolation from each other held contacts. In the former case, the contacts are usually formed by the exposed ends of the metal strips.
  • the layered heating block of parallel heat-emitting and heat-generating elements, optionally with the addition of one or more parallel thereto extending spring elements is preferably held in a housing having a U-shaped cross-section.
  • the frame When loading the layer structure with a spring, the frame should be dimensioned so that the spring force can hold permanently even at the elevated temperatures.
  • the insulating frame is nowadays produced not least for economic reasons as an injection molded part.
  • Usual housing today consist of a lower housing part and a housing upper part. The lower housing part forms a receptacle for the individual elements of the heating block and, if necessary, the spring element. In this lower housing part, the individual elements of the heating block are arranged.
  • the heating block is enclosed by joining the upper housing part and the lower housing part in the housing.

Accordingly, the heat generating element can be easily handled and easily inserted into the housing. Furthermore, the holding webs are applied to the conductor tracks, so that the elements of the heat-emitting element are closely connected to each other and also the PTC heating elements through Concerns are fixed to the inner sides of the conductor tracks in the receptacles, so that, for example, a plurality of PTC heating elements can be arranged and fixed in a receptacle at predetermined locations.

  • the fitting elements 26b associated with these elongated fitting element receptacles 22b are rod-shaped and less wide than the hammer-head-like fitting elements 26a. Due to this particular configuration, the central heat-generating elements 10 do not fit in the outer positions for heat-generating elements 10 of the heating block. In appropriate Way, the outer heat-generating elements can not be arranged in the middle of the heating block, ie insert into the housing 2.
  • the heat-generating elements 10 can not be used anywhere in the housing 2, the heat-emitting corrugated fin elements 12 are nonspecific and as lengths of a meandering curved first sheet metal strip as manufactured and cut from this continuous material to length. Each individual heat-emitting element 12 can be used at any position for a heat-emitting element within the heating block 8.
  • the fitting elements 26 are integrally formed on a positioning frame 28, which in the 4 and 5 can be seen and explained in more detail below with reference to these figures.
  • the positioning frame 28 is made of an insulating material and serves for the positioning of PTC heating elements 30.
  • a receptacle 32 in the positioning frame 28 is recessed for each individual PTC heating element 30, which surrounds this PTC heating element and thus defines it.
  • sheet metal strips 34, 36 which form electrical conductors for energizing the PTC heating elements 30 and via which the heat generated by the PTC heating elements to the heat-emitting elements 12 is passed by heat transfer. These lie directly on the metal bands 34, 36 at.

  • the vast extent of the position frame 28 in the width direction of the respective metal bands 34, 36 is taken.
  • the positioning frame on holding webs 40 which are provided immediately adjacent to the lateral edge of the metal strips 34, 36 and the corresponding metal strips 34, 36 project beyond the top and these overlap on the outside, preferably with the tracks 34, 36 in contact and abut this.
  • the holding webs 40 are formed in the embodiment shown in one piece by way of injection molding initially as a right angle to the main extension direction of the position frame 28 outgoing projections.
  • the distance of opposing projections is selected so that the sheet metal strip 34 or 36 just fits between these projections.
  • the one-piece component produced in this way by injection molding is then provided with the essential parts of the heat-generating element 10, ie the PTC heating elements 30 are inserted into the corresponding receptacle 32 and surrounded on both sides by the metal bands 34, 36. Thereafter, the projections are plastically deformed inwardly and so the interconnects 34, 36 formed across.

  • the means used in each case can locally heat the position frame 28, for example by means of hot air or by heat conduction.
  • the heating effecting agent is preferably formed by a tool which simultaneously performs the transformation of the retaining webs 40.
  • the holding webs 40 are not formed continuously in the longitudinal direction of the heat-generating element 10, but are provided in sections 40.1 to 40.5. These sections 40.1 to 40.5 leave between them a passage 41 free, which is designed such that in each case a strut 20 in the width direction between the sections 40.1; 40.2; 40.3; 40.4 or 40.5 fits.
  • the section formed by the passage 41 projects inwards in relation to the outer surface of the retaining webs 40 so far that at least half the thickness of the struts 20 fits between the retaining webs 40 and is received there.
  • the struts 20 and the positioning frame 28 may also be referred to as the first strut, and the retaining webs 40, which may be referred to as the second strut 43.
  • the heat-generating element 10 is formed as a preassembled component and can thus be handled during assembly, without the risk that the conductor tracks 34, 36 or even the inserted in the position frame 28 PTC heating elements 30 are lost. It should be noted, however, that usually the holding webs only fix the metal strips 34, 36 in the position frame, but not with a contact force against the PTC heating elements 30 put, which is sufficient to energize the PTC heating elements 30 during operation safe. This is in any case effected in the embodiment discussed in the context of the present invention by a spring element, which will be explained in more detail below with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10.
  • Fig. 3 and 4 are a metal strip, namely in Fig. 4 shown sheet metal strip 34, bent out of the plane of the heat generating element 10. Accordingly, an offset 42 results between the plane in which the sheet metal strip 34 abuts against the PTC heating elements 30, and a free end 44, which by repeated, but opposite bending extends parallel to the first-mentioned main portion of the sheet metal strip 34. Again Fig. 3 can be seen, this free end 44 is mechanically and electrically connected by a crimp 46 to the associated contact tongue 14.

Due to these differences, it is possible to avoid exchanging the positions for the heat-generating elements 10.3 and 10.2 within the housing 2.
  • the embodiment allows that the two middle heat-generating elements 10.2 and 10.3 can be interchanged with one another due to the design of contact tongue receivers 48. A corresponding interchangeability is also given for the two outer heat-generating elements 10.1 and 10.4.
  • the lower housing part 4 can be molded in an injection mold that can be produced cost-effectively, since all areas significant for the housing 4 extend parallel or at right angles to the frame opening 18 of the housing lower part 4.
  • the lower housing part 4 initially substantially mutually perpendicular frame surfaces 52a-d, which surround the heating block 8 circumferentially and perpendicular to the plane containing the frame opening 18 includes.
  • the corresponding frame surface 52b opens outward via four fitting element web receivers 54 whose main walls likewise extend at right angles to the plane containing the frame opening 18.

  • the particular design of the heat generating elements 10 allows for easier assembly, since the grid assembly formed by the first and second struts 20, 43 is not completely part of the housing, but the second struts are formed with the frame 28 and thus is located where the PTC heating elements 30 come to rest within the heating block 8.
  • the heat-emitting element 12 is prepared as a preassembled unit and further ensured by the fitting elements 26 and the associated receptacles 22 that the heat-generating elements 12 can be installed only at predetermined locations within the housing 2, the manufacture of the electric heater, in particular the assembly of the items also be done by less experienced staff.
