Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a device for supporting the motor unit of fans and the like, particularly for filtering suction hoods.
- In the above field it is known to use fans, for example of the centrifugal type, which are constituted by an impeller driven by a corresponding motor unit inside a suitable enclosure. A conventioal enclosure has a pair of mutually opposite heads between which a jacket, forming a sort of volute, is fastened; these heads are formed by rings of metal plate which are closed by respective grilles, made for example of plastics, one of which supports the motor.
- The generation of unpleasant vibrations is often complained about in the operation of said suction elements. These vibrations are generally produced by impellers which are not perfectly balanced and by defective driving shafts; the impellers can become dirty over time, collecting grease particles, or deform due to the high temperatures.
- The aim of the present invention is to solve the above-described problem, providing a device for supporting the motor unit of fans and the like which can absorb any vibrations that might be produced, so as to ensure silent operation.
- Within the scope of this aim, an object of the present invention is to provide a device for supporting the motor unit which is simple in concept, safely reliable in operation and versatile in use.
- This aim, these objects and others are all achieved, according to the invention, by the present device for supporting the motor unit of fans and the like, of the type comprising a grille which is suitable to be applied in a front region, along a peripheral annular part, to a head of the enclosure of an impeller and forms, in a central region, means for coupling to a motor unit of said impeller, which is supported in a cantilevered manner inside said enclosure, which is characterized in that it comprises a vibration-damping insert made of elastic material which is adapted to be interposed between said grille and said head at said peripheral annular part, and is provided with flaps which protrude transversely through corresponding slots formed in said head; and means for locking said grille to said head which are adapted to be inserted through respective openings formed in said grille, at said slots of said head, and to retain said flaps of said vibration-damping insert on said head so as to wrap around said head in the fastening position by acting from outside.
- The details of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the device for supporting the motor unit of fans and the like, illustrated only by way of non-limitative example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- Figure 1 is a partially cutout lateral view of the device according to the invention for supporting the motor of a fan for filtering suction hoods;
- Figure 2 is a sectional view of said device, taken along the plane II-II of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a sectional view of a detail of said device, taken along the plane III-III of Figure 1;
- Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of a portion of the device according to the invention;
- Figure 5 is a similar perspective view of a different embodiment of the device;
- Figure 6 is a sectional view of another detail of the device, taken along the plane VI-VI of Figure 2.
-
- With particular reference to the above figures, 1 generally designates the device for supporting the motor unit of fans and the like, particularly for filtering suction hoods.
- The device 1 has a
grille 2, particularly made of plastic material, which is adapted to be applied in a front region to ahead 3 of the fan enclosure. Thehead 3 is conventionally shaped, by a sheet metal ring which is shaped like a scroll and is surrounded bysides - The
grille 2 has a peripheralannular part 6 which is circular and is surrounded bycorresponding sides head 3, along the outer and inner edges; thegrille 2 forms, in a central region, ashaped portion 9 for the coupling of the motor unit of the fan, which is not shown. In the illustrated case, thecoupling portion 9 is adapted to rigidly couple a motor having a rectangular profile; however, thegrille 2 may of course be provided so as to support motors having a different shape, for example a circular or square one. - An
insert 10, made of a material such as rubber and suitable to damp the vibrations produced by the motor, is suitable to be interposed between thegrille 2 and thehead 3. The vibration-damping insert 10 is constituted by anannular element 11 which has correspondingperipheral edges annular part 6 of thegrille 2 in the assembled position. - A series of prism-
shaped protrusions 14 is formed along theannular element 11 of the vibration-damping insert 10; said protrusions are evenly distributed and are directed toward thehead 3 in the assembled position. Theprotrusions 14 delimitcorresponding cavities 15 formed at the internal perimeter of theannular element 11 and are suitable to wrap around corresponding raisedportions 16 which are prism-shaped, in practice rectangular, and are formed at the rim ofrespective openings 17 formed in the circularannular part 6 of thegrille 2. - The raised
portions 16 are joined to theouter side 7 of thegrille 2 by a series of ribs orridges 16a which are suitable to center theinsert 10 and damp vibrations. Theridges 16a engage acorresponding cavity 12a formed on theedge 12 of the insert 10 (reference should be made in particular to Figure 6). - In the illustrated case, the
annular element 11 of the vibration-damping insert 10 covers the entire circumference and hasprotrusions 14 which are evenly distributed along said circumference. However, it is possible to use individual inserts which are localized at said raisedportions 16 of thegrille 2, each insert forming acorresponding protrusion 14 which is shaped like the one that has already been described. - The
head 3 in turn has, along the internal edge, a corresponding series ofslots 18 which are adapted to wrap aroundrespective protrusions 14 of the vibration-damping insert 10. In practice, saidprotrusions 14 are clamped, in the assembled position, respectively between the raisedportions 16 of thegrille 2 and the edge of theslots 18 of thehead 3. - The
protrusions 14 further have twotransverse notches 19 which are suitable to delimit amedian portion 14a of said protrusions which substantially forms a flexible flap. - The
grille 2 is meant to be locked to thehead 3 by means of a plurality of step-shaped brackets 20 which are inserted through saidopenings 17 formed in thegrille 2 and are fastened by means ofcorresponding screws 21 which screw intorespective stubs 22 which are formed bysaid grille 2 along theinner side 8 at saidopenings 17. - The
brackets 20 are adapted to fold saidflaps 14a of the vibration-damping insert 10 onto thehead 3, so as to wrap around saidhead 3 in the clamping position. - More specifically, the
brackets 20 have, at their ends,respective portions portion 20a has ahole 23 for the insertion of thescrew 21, while thesecond portion 20b is adapted to fold, in the assembled position shown by the dashed lines 20c in figure 4, theflap 14a of the vibration-damping insert 10 onto theopposite head 3. - The operation of the device can be easily understood from the above description.
- The vibration-
damping insert 10 is interposed between thegrille 2 and themetal plate head 3 of the enclosure, taking care to fit theprotrusions 14 on the corresponding raisedportions 16 of thegrille 2 and to subsequently engage thereon thecorresponding slots 18 of thehead 3. - It should be observed that the
slots 18 formed on thehead 3 also center saidhead 3 with respect to thegrille 2 and prevent their mutual rotation. - In the assembled position, the
flaps 14a formed by saidprotrusions 14 of the vibration-damping insert 10 protrude transversely through saidslots 18 of the head 3 (see Figure 2 in particular). - The
respective locking brackets 20 are then inserted through theopenings 17 of thegrille 2 by acting from outside. Saidbrackets 20 pass through thecorresponding cavities 15 of theannular element 11 of theinsert 10 and, by means of the foldedportion 20b, fold theflaps 14a of saidinsert 10 against the head 3 (see also Figure 3). - The
locking brackets 20 are then fastened to thegrille 2 by means of thescrews 21 which screw into thestubs 22. - In the locking position, essentially, the
grille 2 that supports the motor is rigidly coupled to thehead 3 of the casing by interposing the vibration-dampinginsert 10 wrapping around saidhead 3 by means of theflaps 14a folded by thelocking brackets 20. In other words, there is no direct contact of thesheet metal head 3 of the casing with thegrille 2 or with thebrackets 20 that provide mutual locking, and this produces an elastic support. - The vibration-damping insert 10 acts as a damping element for the vibrations produced by the motor and by the elements connected thereto, particularly the impeller. Said vibration-damping effect also affects axial rotation in the two opposite directions and the radial direction, by virtue of the configuration of the
protrusions 14 of theinsert 10 wrapping around theslots 18 of thehead 3. - The vibration-
damping insert 10 can of course be made of materials having different rigidities according to the weight of the motor, so as to achieve the best damping effect according to the specific requirements. - Said damping effect can also be adjusted appropriately by means of suitable washers inserted between the folded
portion 20a of the locking brackets and thecorresponding sleeves 22 so as to act as spacers. The insert is accordingly compressed more or less intensely according to the thickness of said washers. - The
outer edge 12 of theinsert 10 also acts as a hermetic sealing element if a charcoal filter or the like is applied to thegrille 2 to form a filtering hood. - Figure 5 illustrates a different embodiment of the device, in which the means for locking the
grille 2 to thehead 3 are constituted by aplate 24 which is provided with a threadedstem 25 whereon acorresponding nut 26 is preassembled. The raisedportion 16 shaped on thegrille 2 forms, in this case, a sort of hollow into which theplate 24 is guided, causing in this case also the bending of theflap 14a of theinsert 10 so as to wrap around thehead 3, providing a latch-like closure. Thestem 25 ofsaid plate 24 passes through aslot 27 formed on the bottom of said hollow. - As an alternative, the
flaps 14a of the vibration-dampinginsert 10 can be provided rigidly in said folded shape adapted to wrap around thehead 3. In this case, of course, thebrackets 20 retain saidflaps 14a in said fastening position. - The aim of the present invention is to provide the support of the motor unit of fans and the like so as to damp any vibrations produced and thus ensure silent operation.
- This aim is achieved in particular thanks to the fact that said
brackets 20 or, as an alternative, theplates 24 can be inserted after assembling the supporting elements of the motor and the corresponding insert in the respective seat. - It should be observed that the device can be advantageously applied not only to the above-mentioned centrifugal aspirators but also to helical and vane aspirators and more generally to other similar industrial and civil applications and in different fields, such as for example the automotive field, the air-conditioning field and the like.
- It should be observed that the device according to the invention allows to easily lock the support of the motor by way of the locking means earlier described once said motor has been arranged in its seat. Likewise, it is possible to perform release from the outside.
- This is particularly advantageous if the scroll-shaped head is small, as in the case of hoods.
- Furthermore the device is very sturdy and electrically very safe, when it uses plastics elements, such as said grille, to support the motor, and in particular does not require earthing.
- In the practical embodiment of the invention, the materials employed, as well as the shape and the dimensions, may be any according to requirements.
