Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an axial fan provided with a facial and radial protection device.
  • the English document GB-A-833 938 describes a fan according to the preamble of claim 1, comprising a protection device integral with the hub.
  • This protection device consists of a facial protection grid made up of radial elements making it possible to prevent access of certain foreign bodies between the blades of the fan.
  • the present invention relates to the realization of a space-saving axial fan, of low cost price, having satisfactory aerodynamic characteristics and comprising a facial and radial protection device which prevents the introduction of foreign bodies between the blades of the fan.
  • an axial fan comprising a hub carrying at least two blades and provided with a central hole for the passage of the motor shaft, and a protection device integral with the hub comprising a face protection grid and a radial protection ring integral with the grid, this ring being coaxial with the motor shaft and surrounding the radial ends of the blades, the facial protection grid consisting of bars arranged in a sufficiently tight manner to effectively reduce the intervals between these bars and prevent the introduction of foreign bodies between the blades, is characterized in that the bars of the grid are exclusively concentric rings, coaxial with the motor shaft, and in that the protective ring is a ferrule formed by a cylindrical wall and smooth, and in that the face protection grid and the ferrule are obtained in one piece by molding a plastic material.
  • the invention relates to the production by molding in a single block, the axial and radial protection device, the hub and the blades of the fan.
  • the fan according to the invention comprises a hub 15 carrying blades 12, 13 and a protection device comprising a face protection grid 11 formed of several concentric rings 20 connected to each other by arms 21.
  • This grid 11 is provided, at its periphery, with a radial protection ferrule 10 formed by a cylindrical wall, coaxial with the rings 20.
  • the arms 21 can be obtained by extensions of this ferrule 10.
  • the facial grid 10 is provided with a central orifice, the flange 22 of which is curved so as to be substantially parallel to the ferrule 10.
  • This flange 22, intended for fixing the protection device on the hub 15 of the fan can be introduced into a hollow part 18 of the free end of the hub 15 which has a central hole 16 for the passage of a motor shaft (not shown) of the fan, holes 17 allowing the fixing the hub 15 on the shaft.
  • the immobilization of the protection device on the hub 15 can then be effected by means of glue, rivets, screws or any other suitable means of assembly. After assembly on the hub 15, the protection device can rotate at the same speed as this hub 15.
  • the cylindrical wall of the ferrule 10 is arranged coaxially around the blades 12 and 13 of the fan, its axis coinciding with the axis of rotation of the motor shaft.
  • the inner parts of the blades 12, 13 are attached to a cylindrical wall 14 integral with the means 15 and coaxial with this hub 15 which has the shape of a disc.
  • the blades 12, 13 and the hub 15 were obtained in one piece, by molding a plastic material, or other moldable material, allowing to benefit from a very reduced cost price.
  • the grid 11 and the protective shell 10 can also be obtained, in one piece, by molding a plastic or other material.
  • the outer surface of the cylindrical wall of the shell 10 must be smooth. In fact, when the fan is operating, external objects or elements which may come into contact with this shell 10 will be pushed back or deflected and cannot in any way come into contact with the blades 12, 13.
  • the concentric rings 20 of the grid are arranged in a sufficiently tight manner to effectively reduce the intervals 23 between the rings 20. These rings 20 are partially in contact with the upstream edges 24 of the blades 12, 13 so as to reinforce the structure of the grid 11 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the fan according to the invention can comprise any number of blades, six for example, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the protection device 30 comprising a face grid 31 and a ferrule 10, is molded in one piece with the hub 15 and the blades 32, 33.
  • the grid 31 is formed of concentric rings 34 partially in contact with the upstream edge 35 of the blades 32, 33. In this way, the positioning arms of the concentric rings 34 are eliminated, because they have become unnecessary.
  • This embodiment using a one-piece molding, is particularly advantageous and makes it possible to obtain axial fans with facial and radial protection, which can be mounted without drawback in many industrial, semi-industrial or household appliances.
