Die Lüfterhutze ist an ihrer Innenseite mit einem weichelastischen Schaumstoff ausgekleidet, um un ter anderem einen möglichst engen Ringspalt zwischen dem Lüfter und dem ringförmigen Kragen zu ermöglichen.Such a fan guard shows, for example, EP-A 98 397. It is made of load-bearing plastic, on Mounted cooler and serves as an air duct from the cooler to the fan. The fan guard is on the inside with a soft elastic foam lined to un ter as narrow as possible an annular gap between the Allow fan and the annular collar.
Durch die US-PS 37 99 128 ist es ferner bekannt, an eine Kühlerhutze aus tragender Struktur einen weichelasti schen Kragen anzukleben, wodurch ebenfalls der Ringspalt zwischen dem Lüfter und der so gebildeten zweiteiligen Lüfterhutze verringert werden soll. Im übrigen vermin dert ein derartiger weichelastischer Kragen auch An schlaggeräusche, die aufgrund der Relativbewegungen zwischen Brennkraftmaschine und separat aufgehängtem Kühler mit Lüfterhutze auftreten können.From US-PS 37 99 128 it is also known to one Radiator hood made of supporting structure a soft elastic glue the collar, which also causes the annular gap between the fan and the two-part thus formed Fan cowl should be reduced. Otherwise min Such a soft elastic collar also appeals percussion noises due to the relative movements between internal combustion engine and separately suspended Coolers with fan cowls can occur.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, mit möglichst einfachen Mitteln einen schädlichen Kontakt zwischen Lüfterhutze und Brennkraftmaschine auszuschließen, ohne jedoch den Wirkungsgrad des Lüfters zu beeinträchtigen.The object of the invention is to be as simple as possible A harmful contact between the fan cover and exclude internal combustion engine, but without the Affect the efficiency of the fan.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den kennzeichnen den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is characterized by the solved the features of claim 1.
Es wird demgemäß eine Lüfterhutze vorgeschlagen, die einstückig aus Kunststoff gefertigt ist, wobei jedoch der Kragen zumindest in seinem unmittelbar der Brenn kraftmaschine benachbarten Abschnitt im Zweikomponenten verfahren weichelastisch ausgebildet ist. Daraus resul tiert, daß weder das Herstellungsverfahren noch die Montage der Lüfterhutze ver teuert werden und trotzdem in dem Bereich, in dem ein Kontakt mit An bauten oder Aggregaten der Brennkraftmaschine zu befürchten ist, eine elastische Ausbildung erzielt ist. In gewissem Maße dient somit der der Brennkraftmaschine unmittelbar benachbarte elastische Kragen der Lüf terhutze als nachgiebiger Anschlag, der sowohl Geräusche als auch Schä den aufgrund eines unmittelbaren Kontaktes ausschließt, andererseits aber eine ausreichende axiale Erstreckung der Kragens zur Erzielung eines guten Lüfterwirkungsgrades ermöglicht.Accordingly, a fan guard is proposed that is made in one piece from plastic, however the collar at least in his immediate the focal Engine adjacent section in the two-component procedure is soft-elastic. From this resul animals that neither the manufacturing process nor the assembly of the fan cowl ver be expensive and still in the area where contact with An Buildings or units of the internal combustion engine is to be feared elastic training is achieved. To a certain extent, the Internal combustion engine immediately adjacent elastic collar of the Lüf terhütze as a resilient stop that both noise and Schä which excludes due to direct contact, on the other hand but sufficient axial extension of the collar to achieve a good fan efficiency.
Bevorzugt kann die Lüfterhutze aus Polypropylen oder Polyamid und der Kragen aus styrolmodifiziertem Polyolefinelastomer hergestellt sein.Preferably, the fan guard made of polypropylene or polyamide and Collar made of styrene-modified polyolefin elastomer.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist im folgenden mit weiteren Einzelheiten näher erläutert. Die schematische Zeichnung zeigt inAn embodiment of the invention is below with others Details explained in more detail. The schematic drawing shows in

Eine nur teilweise dargestellte Brennkraftmaschine 10 ist in einem Mo torraum 12 eines Kraftfahrzeuges angeordnet. An der nach vorne weisen den Stirnseite 14 der Brennkraftmaschine ist ein mit einer Wasserpumpe 16 kombinierter Lüfter 18 angeordnet. Der Lüfter 18 sowie seitlich der Brennkraftmaschine montierte Aggregate 20, 22 sind von der Kurbelwelle der Brennkraftmaschine über einen Riemen 24 angetrieben. In Fahrtrich tung (Pfeil 26) vor dem Lüfter 18 ist ein Luft-Wasser-Wärmetauscher bzw. Kühler 28 an der Karosserie des Kraftfahrzeuges befestigt, der eine Lüfterhutze 30 trägt. An internal combustion engine 10 , only partially shown, is arranged in a motor compartment 12 of a motor vehicle. A fan 18 combined with a water pump 16 is arranged on the front side 14 of the internal combustion engine. The fan 18 and assemblies 20 , 22 mounted on the side of the internal combustion engine are driven by the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine via a belt 24 . In the direction of travel (arrow 26 ) in front of the fan 18 , an air-water heat exchanger or cooler 28 is attached to the body of the motor vehicle, which carries a fan guard 30 .
Die Lüfterhutze 30 weist einen Umfangsflansch 32 auf, der über einen Luftführungsabschnitt 34 in einen ringförmigen Kragen 36 übergeht. Der Kragen 36 umschließt die Schaufeln 38 des Lüfters 18. Der Lüfter 18 fördert somit Kühlluft durch den Wärmetauscher 28 hindurch und bläst sie entlang der Brennkraftmaschine 10 durch den Motorraum 12. Die Lüfterhutze 30 ist scharnierartig in zwei etwa U-förmige Halter 42 am unteren Rand des Kühlers 28 eingesteckt und an dem oberen Umfangs flanschabschnitt mittels zweier Schrauben 40 befestigt.The fan guard 30 has a circumferential flange 32 which merges into an annular collar 36 via an air guide section 34 . The collar 36 surrounds the blades 38 of the fan 18 . The fan 18 thus conveys cooling air through the heat exchanger 28 and blows it along the internal combustion engine 10 through the engine compartment 12 . The fan guard 30 is inserted in a hinge-like manner into two approximately U-shaped holders 42 at the lower edge of the cooler 28 and is attached to the upper peripheral flange section by means of two screws 40 .
Die Lüfterhutze 30 ist im Zweikomponentenverfahren aus elastomeren Kunststoff hergestellt. Dabei ist der Bereich (vgl. Fig. 3) bestehend aus dem Umfangsflansch 32 und der Luftführung 34 tragend aus Polypro pylen gebildet, während der Kragen 36 (dichtere Schraffur) im Zwei komponentenverfahren in einer weichelastischen Struktur aus styrolmodi fiziertem Polyolefinelastomer geschaffen ist, aufgrund der mit Weichma chern versetzten Struktur elastisch ausgebildet ist.The fan guard 30 is made in a two-component process from elastomeric plastic. The area (see FIG. 3) consisting of the circumferential flange 32 and the air duct 34 is made of polypropylene, while the collar 36 (denser hatching) is created in a two-part process in a flexible structure made of styrene-modified polyolefin elastomer, due to which structure with offset plasticizers is elastic.
Durch diese Konstruktion der Lüfterhutze 30 kann bei einer nach vorne Verlagerung der Brennkraftmaschine 10 bei einem eventuellen Kontakt zwischen Anbauteilen oder Aggregaten (wie Klimakompressor, Lichtma schine, stirnseitig vorkragende Wasserstutzen, etc.) der elastische Kragen 36 nachgeben, wodurch Beschädigungen oder Geräusche vermieden sind.This design of the fan cowl 30 allows the elastic collar 36 to give way when the internal combustion engine 10 is moved forward in the event of any contact between attachments or units (such as an air conditioning compressor, light machine, water nozzles protruding from the front, etc.), thereby preventing damage or noise.
