Description

本発明は、例えば自動車等に搭載される車両用空調装置に設けられる電気式ヒータの構造に関するものである。   The present invention relates to the structure of an electric heater provided in a vehicle air conditioner mounted on, for example, an automobile.

従来より、例えば車両用空調装置には、空調用空気を加熱するための電気式ヒータが設けられることがある（例えば、特許文献１参照）。電気式ヒータは、ＰＴＣ素子と放熱用のフィンとを積層するとともに、ＰＴＣ素子及びフィンを積層方向に圧縮するためのバネ要素を備えており、ＰＴＣ素子、フィン及びバネ要素が枠型フレームによって積層状態で保持されている。   Conventionally, for example, an air heater for a vehicle is sometimes provided with an electric heater for heating air for air conditioning (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The electric heater includes a PTC element and a heat dissipation fin, and a spring element for compressing the PTC element and the fin in the stacking direction. The PTC element, the fin and the spring element are stacked by a frame-type frame. Held in a state.

特許文献１では、枠型フレームの上辺部から下辺部まで延びて上辺部及び下辺部を連結する複数の支柱が設けられている。支柱は、上下方向に真っ直ぐに延びるとともに、枠型フレームの幅方向に等間隔に配置されている。そして、空調用空気は枠型フレームの内部を通ってフィンを通過する間にＰＴＣ素子の熱によって加熱される。   In Patent Document 1, a plurality of support columns are provided that extend from the upper side portion to the lower side portion of the frame-type frame and connect the upper side portion and the lower side portion. The struts extend straight in the vertical direction and are arranged at equal intervals in the width direction of the frame-type frame. The air for air conditioning is heated by the heat of the PTC element while passing through the fins through the inside of the frame-type frame.

また、特許文献１の枠型フレームは空調用空気の流れ方向上流側に配置される上流側部材と、下流側に配置される下流側部材とを組み合わせることによって構成されている。上流側部材と下流側部材の一方には嵌合用突出部が形成され、他方には、嵌合用突出部が嵌合する凹部が形成されている。   In addition, the frame-type frame of Patent Document 1 is configured by combining an upstream member disposed on the upstream side in the air-conditioning air flow direction and a downstream member disposed on the downstream side. One of the upstream member and the downstream member is formed with a fitting projection, and the other is formed with a recess into which the fitting projection is fitted.

特許第４９３９４９０号公報Japanese Patent No. 4939490

ところで、特許文献１では、枠型フレームを上流側部材と下流側部材との複数の部材で構成している。そして、収容するＰＴＣ素子及びフィンの配置や、嵌合用突出部及び凹部の形状や配置の関係上、上流側部材と下流側部材の形状は異なる形状となっている。したがって、上流側部材を成形する金型と、下流側部材を成形する金型とは別のものが必要になるので、金型の種類が増えて、設備費が増加する。   By the way, in patent document 1, the frame type | mold frame is comprised with the some member of an upstream member and a downstream member. And the shape of an upstream member and a downstream member differs from the relationship of arrangement | positioning of the PTC element and fin to accommodate, and the shape and arrangement | positioning of the protrusion part for fitting, and a recessed part. Therefore, since a mold for molding the upstream side member and a mold for molding the downstream side member are required, the types of molds increase and the equipment cost increases.

また、上流側部材と下流側部材の形状が異なっているので、上流側部材と下流側部材を別部品として製造しなければならず、部品の種類が増加するという問題もある。   In addition, since the shapes of the upstream member and the downstream member are different, the upstream member and the downstream member must be manufactured as separate parts, and there is a problem that the types of parts increase.

さらに、上流側部材と下流側部材との大まかな形状が共通しているので、電気式ヒータの組み立て現場では、例えば上流側部材同士を組み合わせてしまったり、下流側部材同士を組み合わせてしまうといった誤組付が発生する懸念がある。   Furthermore, since the rough shape of the upstream member and the downstream member is common, at the assembly site of the electric heater, for example, the upstream members may be combined or the downstream members may be combined. There is concern that assembly will occur.

本発明は、かかる点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、枠型フレームを構成する複数の部材を共通化することで金型の種類を減らすとともに、部品の種類も減らし、しかも、誤組付の発生を抑制することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of such points, and the object of the present invention is to reduce the types of molds and the types of parts by sharing a plurality of members constituting the frame-type frame. Moreover, it is to suppress the occurrence of misassembly.

上記目的を達成するために、本発明では、枠型フレームを構成する上流側部材と下流側部材とが点対称形状となるようにした。   In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, the upstream side member and the downstream side member constituting the frame-type frame are point-symmetric.

第１の発明は、
電力の供給によって発熱する発熱体と、
上記発熱体に積層された状態で配設されるフィンと、
上記発熱体及び上記フィンを収容して積層状態で保持する枠型フレームとを備え、
上記枠型フレームの内部へ送風された空調用空気が上記フィンを通過して加熱される車両用空調装置の電気式ヒータにおいて、
上記枠型フレームは、空調用空気の流れ方向上流側に配置される上流側部材と、下流側に配置される下流側部材とが組み合わされて構成され、
上記上流側部材は、上記発熱体及び上記フィンの積層方向両側にそれぞれ位置する第１辺部及び第２辺部と、該第１辺部の長手方向中間部から該第２辺部の長手方向中間部まで延び、該第１辺部と該第２辺部とを繋ぐ複数の繋ぎ部とを有し、該第１辺部及び該第２辺部の長手方向の両端部同士は、互いに非連結状態とされ、該第１辺部及び該第２辺部の長手方向の両端部をそれぞれ覆うキャップ部材が設けられ、
上記下流側部材は、上記発熱体及び上記フィンの積層方向両側にそれぞれ位置する第１辺部及び第２辺部と、該下流側部材の該第１辺部の長手方向中間部から該下流側部材の該第２辺部の長手方向中間部まで延び、該第１辺部と該第２辺部とを繋ぐ複数の繋ぎ部とを有し、該下流側部材の該第１辺部及び該第２辺部の長手方向の両端部同士は、互いに非連結状態とされ、該下流側部材の該第１辺部及び該第２辺部の長手方向の両端部は、上記キャップ部材によってそれぞれ覆われ、
上記枠型フレームを空調用空気の流れ方向から見たときに上記上流側部材の中心に位置する点を対称の中心として上記上流側部材と上記下流側部材とが互いに点対称形状の部品からなることを特徴とする。 The first invention is
A heating element that generates heat by supplying power;
Fins disposed in a stacked state on the heating element;
A frame-type frame that houses the heating element and the fins and holds the fins in a stacked state;
In the electric heater of the vehicle air conditioner in which the air-conditioning air blown into the frame-type frame is heated through the fins,
The frame-type frame is configured by combining an upstream member disposed on the upstream side of the air-conditioning air flow direction and a downstream member disposed on the downstream side,
The upstream side member includes a first side and a second side located on both sides in the stacking direction of the heating element and the fin, and a longitudinal direction of the second side from a longitudinal middle of the first side. It has a plurality of connecting portions extending to the middle portion and connecting the first side portion and the second side portion, and both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the first side portion and the second side portion are not mutually Cap members that are connected and cover both ends in the longitudinal direction of the first side and the second side are provided,
The downstream member includes a first side and a second side located on both sides of the heating element and the fin in the stacking direction, and a downstream side from a longitudinal intermediate portion of the first side of the downstream member. A plurality of connecting portions connecting the first side and the second side, the first side of the downstream member, and the second side of the member; Both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the second side portion are not connected to each other, and both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the first side portion and the second side portion of the downstream side member are respectively covered by the cap member. I,
The upstream member and the downstream member are made of parts that are point-symmetric with respect to a point that is located at the center of the upstream member when the frame-type frame is viewed from the air flow direction. It is characterized by that.

この構成によれば、上流側部材と下流側部材とを同じ形状にすることが可能になる。従って、上流側部材を成形する金型と、下流側部材を成形する金型とを同じにして金型の種類を減らすことが可能になるとともに、部品の種類も減らすことが可能になる。さらに、上流側部材と下流側部材とが同じ形状なので、組み立て現場では同じ部品を組み付ければ枠型フレームとなり、その結果、誤組付の発生が抑制される。   According to this structure, it becomes possible to make an upstream member and a downstream member into the same shape. Therefore, the mold for molding the upstream member and the mold for molding the downstream member can be made the same to reduce the types of molds and the types of components. Furthermore, since the upstream side member and the downstream side member have the same shape, if the same parts are assembled at the assembly site, a frame-type frame is obtained, and as a result, occurrence of erroneous assembly is suppressed.

第２の発明は、第１の発明において、
上記上流側部材と上記下流側部材とは、同じ成形面形状を有する金型により射出成形されていることを特徴とする。 According to a second invention, in the first invention,
The upstream member and the downstream member are injection-molded by a mold having the same molding surface shape.

この構成によれば、上流側部材と下流側部材とを射出成形する際に同じ成形面形状を有する金型を用意すれば済む。   According to this configuration, a mold having the same molding surface shape may be prepared when the upstream member and the downstream member are injection-molded.

第３の発明は、第１または２の発明において、
上記電気式ヒータは、上記枠型フレームに保持された上記発熱体及び上記フィンを積層方向に圧縮するように付勢力を作用させるための付勢部材を備え、
上記枠型フレームの上記繋ぎ部は、該上流側部材の上記上流側部材と上記下流側部材とにそれぞれ設けられ、
上記上流側部材の繋ぎ部は、上記第１辺部及び上記第２辺部に対して傾斜して延び、
上記下流側部材の繋ぎ部は、上記上流側部材の繋ぎ部とは反対方向に傾斜して延びていることを特徴とする。 According to a third invention, in the first or second invention,
The electric heater includes an urging member for applying an urging force so as to compress the heating element and the fin held in the frame-type frame in the stacking direction ,
The connecting portion of the frame-shaped frame, respectively provided with the upstream member and the downstream member of the upstream-side member,
The connecting portion of the upstream member extends while being inclined with respect to the first side and the second side,
The connecting portion of the downstream side member is inclined and extends in a direction opposite to the connecting portion of the upstream side member.

この構成によれば、枠型フレームの第１辺部と第２辺部とが繋ぎ部によって繋がれることで、付勢部材による付勢力の影響で第１辺部と第２辺部とが開いてしまうのが抑制される。このとき、上流側部材の繋ぎ部と下流側部材の繋ぎ部とが互いに反対方向に延びているので、枠型フレーム全体としての強度が高まり、繋ぎ部による枠型フレームの変形抑制効果が向上する。   According to this configuration, the first side portion and the second side portion of the frame-type frame are connected by the connecting portion, so that the first side portion and the second side portion are opened due to the urging force of the urging member. Is suppressed. At this time, since the connecting portion of the upstream member and the connecting portion of the downstream member extend in opposite directions, the strength of the entire frame frame is increased, and the deformation suppressing effect of the frame frame by the connecting portion is improved. .

第４の発明は、第３の発明において、
上記下流側部材の繋ぎ部は、空調用空気の流れ方向に見たとき上記上流側部材の繋ぎ部と少なくとも一部が重なるように配置されていることを特徴とする。 According to a fourth invention, in the third invention,
The connecting portion of the downstream member is arranged so that at least a part of the connecting portion of the upstream member overlaps with the connecting portion of the upstream member when viewed in the flow direction of the air conditioning air.

この構成によれば、空調用空気の流れ方向に見たとき、上流側部材の繋ぎ部と下流側部材の繋ぎ部とが交差するように配置されるので、枠型フレームの強度が高まって枠型フレームの変形抑制効果がより一層向上する。   According to this configuration, when viewed in the flow direction of the air-conditioning air, the connecting portion of the upstream member and the connecting portion of the downstream member intersect each other, so that the strength of the frame-type frame is increased. The effect of suppressing deformation of the mold frame is further improved.

第１の発明によれば、枠型フレームを構成する上流側部材と下流側部材とが点対称形状の部品からなるものとしたので、上流側部材と下流側部材を共通部品とすることができる。これにより、金型の種類を減らすことができるとともに、部品の種類も減らすことができ、しかも、誤組付の発生を抑制できる。   According to the first invention, the upstream member and the downstream member constituting the frame-type frame are made of point-symmetric parts, so that the upstream member and the downstream member can be a common part. . Thereby, while being able to reduce the kind of metal mold | die, the kind of components can also be reduced and generation | occurrence | production of misassembly can be suppressed.

第２の発明によれば、上流側部材と下流側部材とが同じ成形面形状を有する金型により射出成形されているので、上流側部材と下流側部材とを射出成形する際に同じ成形面形状を有する金型を用意すれば済み、設備費を低減できる。   According to the second invention, since the upstream member and the downstream member are injection-molded by the mold having the same molding surface shape, the same molding surface is formed when the upstream member and the downstream member are injection-molded. If a mold having a shape is prepared, the equipment cost can be reduced.

第３の発明によれば、空調用空気の流れ方向上流側と下流側にそれぞれ繋ぎ部を設け、下流側部材の繋ぎ部は、上流側部材の繋ぎ部とは反対方向に傾斜して延びているので、繋ぎ部による枠型フレームの変形抑制効果を向上させることができる。   According to the third aspect of the present invention, the connecting portions are provided on the upstream side and the downstream side, respectively, in the flow direction of the air-conditioning air, and the connecting portion of the downstream member is inclined and extends in the direction opposite to the connecting portion of the upstream member. Therefore, the effect of suppressing deformation of the frame-type frame by the connecting portion can be improved.

第４の発明によれば、下流側部材の繋ぎ部は、空調用空気の流れ方向に見たとき上流側部材の繋ぎ部と少なくとも一部が重なるようにしたので、枠型フレームの強度を高めることができ、枠型フレームの変形抑制効果をより一層向上させることができる。   According to the fourth invention, the connecting portion of the downstream member is at least partially overlapped with the connecting portion of the upstream member when viewed in the air-conditioning air flow direction, so that the strength of the frame frame is increased. It is possible to further improve the effect of suppressing the deformation of the frame-type frame.

As shown in FIG. 3, an electrode plate 50a connected to the PTC element is provided at the right end portion of the upper heating element 50 so as to protrude to the right side. The central heating element 51 is disposed at the center in the vertical direction of the electric heater 5. An electrode plate 51a connected to the PTC element is provided at the right end portion of the central heating element 51 so as to protrude to the right side. The lower heating element 52 is disposed below the central portion in the vertical direction of the electric heater 5. An electrode plate 52a connected to the PTC element is provided at the right end portion of the lower heating element 52 so as to protrude to the right side.

フィン５３は左右方向に長い連続する波型形状のコルゲートフィンである。フィン５３は、上部発熱体５０の上面及び下面、中央部発熱体５１の上面及び下面、下部発熱体５２の上面及び下面にそれぞれ配設されている。つまり、フィン５３は、上部発熱体５０、中央部発熱体５１及び下部発熱体５２に積層されている。   The fins 53 are continuous corrugated fins that are long in the left-right direction. The fins 53 are disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the upper heating element 50, the upper and lower surfaces of the central heating element 51, and the upper and lower surfaces of the lower heating element 52, respectively. That is, the fins 53 are stacked on the upper heating element 50, the central heating element 51, and the lower heating element 52.

枠型フレーム６０の左側には、上辺部７１、８１及び下辺部７２、８２の左端部を覆う左側キャップ部材６２が設けられている。左側キャップ部材６２は、上辺部７１、８１及び下辺部７２、８２の左端部に嵌合することによって枠型フレーム６０に着脱可能に取り付けられている。右側キャップ部材６１は、上辺部７１、８１及び下辺部７２、８２の左端部が挿入された状態で嵌合する嵌合筒部６１ａが設けられている。嵌合筒部６１ａの周壁部には、枠型フレーム６０の突起７１ａ、７２ａが係合する係合孔６２ｃが形成されている。   On the left side of the frame 60, a left cap member 62 that covers the left ends of the upper side portions 71 and 81 and the lower side portions 72 and 82 is provided. The left cap member 62 is detachably attached to the frame frame 60 by being fitted to the left end portions of the upper side portions 71 and 81 and the lower side portions 72 and 82. The right cap member 61 is provided with a fitting cylinder portion 61a that fits in a state in which the left end portions of the upper side portions 71 and 81 and the lower side portions 72 and 82 are inserted. On the peripheral wall portion of the fitting cylinder portion 61a, an engagement hole 62c is formed in which the projections 71a and 72a of the frame-type frame 60 are engaged.

次に、上記のように構成された電気式ヒータ５の組み立て要領について説明する。まず、上部発熱体５０、中央部発熱体５１、下部発熱体５２、フィン５３、板材５５を積層し、上流側部材７０の内部に収容する。そして、バネ５４を弾性変形させながら上端部のフィン５３の上面と上辺部７１の下面との間に挿入する。これにより、上部発熱体５０、中央部発熱体５１、下部発熱体５２、フィン５３、板材５５に圧縮力が作用する。その後、下流側部材８０を上流側部材７０に組み付けて一体化すると、上部発熱体５０、中央部発熱体５１、下部発熱体５２、フィン５３、板材５５及びバネ５４が枠型フレーム６０の内部に収容される。尚、上部発熱体５０、中央部発熱体５１、下部発熱体５２、フィン５３、板材５５を積層し、下流側部材８０の内部に収容した後、上流側部材７０を下流側部材８０に組み付けて一体化してもよい。   Next, an assembling procedure of the electric heater 5 configured as described above will be described. First, the upper heating element 50, the central heating element 51, the lower heating element 52, the fins 53, and the plate material 55 are stacked and accommodated in the upstream member 70. The spring 54 is inserted between the upper surface of the fin 53 at the upper end portion and the lower surface of the upper side portion 71 while being elastically deformed. Thereby, a compressive force acts on the upper heating element 50, the central heating element 51, the lower heating element 52, the fins 53, and the plate material 55. Thereafter, when the downstream member 80 is assembled and integrated with the upstream member 70, the upper heating element 50, the central heating element 51, the lower heating element 52, the fins 53, the plate material 55, and the spring 54 are placed inside the frame frame 60. Be contained. The upper heating element 50, the central heating element 51, the lower heating element 52, the fins 53, and the plate material 55 are stacked and accommodated in the downstream member 80, and then the upstream member 70 is assembled to the downstream member 80. It may be integrated.

次に、以上のようにして得られた電気式ヒータ５を使用する場合について説明する。バネ５４による反発力は、枠型フレーム６０の上流側部材７０の上辺部７１と下辺部７２に対して上辺部７１及び下辺部７２を開くように作用する。同様に、バネ５４の反発力は、枠型フレーム６０の下流側部材８０の上辺部８１と下辺部８２に対して上辺部８１及び下辺部８２を開くように作用する。このとき、上流側部材７０の上辺部７１と下辺部７２が複数の７４Ａ〜７４Ｃ、７５Ａ〜７５Ｃによって繋がれているので、バネ５４による反発力に抗するように上辺部７１と下辺部７２との開きが抑制される。同様に、下流側部材８０の上辺部８１と下辺部８２の開きも抑制される。   Next, the case where the electric heater 5 obtained as described above is used will be described. The repulsive force by the spring 54 acts to open the upper side 71 and the lower side 72 with respect to the upper side 71 and the lower side 72 of the upstream member 70 of the frame frame 60. Similarly, the repulsive force of the spring 54 acts to open the upper side 81 and the lower side 82 with respect to the upper side 81 and the lower side 82 of the downstream member 80 of the frame-type frame 60. At this time, since the upper side 71 and the lower side 72 of the upstream member 70 are connected by a plurality of 74A to 74C and 75A to 75C, the upper side 71 and the lower side 72 are opposed to the repulsive force of the spring 54. Is prevented from opening. Similarly, the opening of the upper side 81 and the lower side 82 of the downstream member 80 is also suppressed.

以上説明したように、この実施形態１に係る電気式ヒータ５によれば、上流側部材７０と下流側部材８０とを同じ形状にすることが可能になる。従って、上流側部材７０を成形する金型と、下流側部材８０を成形する金型とを同じにして金型の種類を減らすことが可能になるとともに、部品の種類も減らすことができる。さらに、上流側部材７０と下流側部材８０とが同じ形状なので、組み立て現場では同じ部品を組み付ければ枠型フレーム７０となり、誤組付の発生を抑制できる。   As described above, according to the electric heater 5 according to the first embodiment, the upstream member 70 and the downstream member 80 can have the same shape. Therefore, the mold for molding the upstream member 70 and the mold for molding the downstream member 80 can be made the same to reduce the types of molds and the types of components. Furthermore, since the upstream member 70 and the downstream member 80 have the same shape, if the same parts are assembled at the assembly site, the frame-type frame 70 is obtained, and the occurrence of erroneous assembly can be suppressed.

また、上流側部材６０と下流側部材７０とが同じ成形面形状を有する金型により射出成形されているので、上流側部材６０と下流側部材７０とを射出成形する際に同じ成形面形状を有する金型を用意すれば済み、設備費を低減できる。   Moreover, since the upstream member 60 and the downstream member 70 are injection-molded by a mold having the same molding surface shape, the same molding surface shape is used when the upstream member 60 and the downstream member 70 are injection-molded. If the mold which has is prepared, it will be sufficient and equipment cost can be reduced.

また、空調用空気の流れ方向に見たとき、上流側の第１左側棒状部７５Ａと、下流側の第１左側棒状部８５ＡとがＸ字状に交差し、上流側の第２左側棒状部７５Ｂと、下流側の第２左側棒状部８５ＢとがＸ字状に交差し、上流側の第３左側棒状部７５Ｃと、下流側の第３左側棒状部８５ＣとがＸ字状に交差しているので、枠型フレーム６０の強度が高まって枠型フレーム６０の変形抑制効果をより一層向上させることができる。   Further, when viewed in the flow direction of the air-conditioning air, the first left-side bar portion 75A on the upstream side and the first left-side bar portion 85A on the downstream side intersect in an X shape, and the second left-side bar portion on the upstream side 75B and the downstream second left bar 85B intersect in an X shape, and the upstream third left rod 75C and the downstream third left bar 85C intersect in an X shape. As a result, the strength of the frame frame 60 is increased, and the deformation suppressing effect of the frame frame 60 can be further improved.

尚、実施形態１では、上流側部材７０及び下流側部材８０の棒状部の数を６本にしているが、これに限らず、５本以下にしてもよいし、７本以上にしてもよい。
