Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a mini-fan, and it relates to a mini-fan, which is obtainable by this method.
  • Such fans are also referred to as small or micro fan.
  • sensor fans are used for air measurement. These have e.g. an outer diameter of 30 mm, i. it is according to the technical usage of mini fans.
  • Such mini fans are also used to cool processors in computers, for example
  • the fans of the ebm-papst series 250 have dimensions of 8 x 25 x 25 mm, those of the ebm-papst series 400F dimensions of 10 x 40 x 40 mm, those of the ebm-papst series 400 of 20 x 40 x 40 mm, and the fans of the ebm-papst 600 series of 25 x 60 x 60 mm.
  • the power consumption of such fans is 0.4 ... 0.6 W for the 250 series, 0.7 to 0.9 W for the 400F series and 0.9 ... 3 for the 400 and 600 series , 4 W.
  • the weight is eg 5 g in the 250 series, 17 to 27 g in the 400 / 400F series, and 85 g in the 600 series.
  • the rotor shaft has z. B. often only the thickness of a knitting needle and can therefore be easily bent when carefree handling, causing the fan is unusable.
  • this object is achieved by a method according to claim 1 and a mini fan according to claim 3.
  • a method according to claim 1 manufactures the rotor in the two-component injection molding, it is very stable, because even the injected permanent magnet contributes to the stability of the fan, so that in a surprising way, the engine is very quiet.
  • the motors are of very high, consistent quality.
  • the miniaturization of such parts is greatly facilitated by this type of manufacture.
  • Fig. 1 is a partially sectioned illustration of a space
  • FIG. 2 shows a variant of FIG. 1,
  • Fig. 3 is an illustration of a contact pin with which the mini fan can be plugged onto a circuit board, said fastening part allows both an electrical and a mechanical connection of the fan to the circuit board
  • Fig. 4 is a section, taken along the line IV - IV of Fig. 3rd
  • Fig. 1 shows a mini-fan 10, which may in practice usually have a diameter of 30 to 35 mm, but is greatly enlarged for reasons of clarity. It has an outer housing 12 made of an insulating plastic, and this housing has at the top an air inlet opening 14 and laterally air outlet openings 16, of which in Fig. 1, only the rear is visible.
  • the housing 12 widens via an annular portion 18 to a cylindrical portion 20th
  • a circuit board 22 On the annular portion 18 is a circuit board 22, and on this a sealing ring 24 is attached from sponge rubber in the manner shown.
  • the circuit board 22 is substantially round and has in its center a transverse web 26, of which in Fig. 1, only the rear half is visible and on which an NTC resistor 28 is arranged, which serves as a temperature sensor for air, which in the direction of Arrows 30, 32 flows from above through the opening 14 and flows through the lateral opening 16.
  • the NTC resistor 28 is connected by tracks 34 with contact pins 36, 38 which are arranged in the cylindrical part 20 of the outer housing 12 in the manner shown.
  • These contact pins 36, 38 each have a bottom contacting foot 36 'and 38', each of which has two resilient elements 40, 42, which are shown in Fig. 4.
  • the Kunststofftechnischsfutee 36 'and 38' are inserted as shown in FIG. 3 and 4 in an opening 44 of a printed circuit board 46.
  • This opening 44 is connected to a metal layer 47, which extends through the opening 44 and is connected to a conductor track 48 of the printed circuit board 46.
  • the Kunststoff Industriessffinie 36 ', 38' so make electrical connections from the circuit board 46 to the fan 10 and its temperature sensor 28 ago.
  • the electronics for the commutation is not in the fan 10 itself, but on the associated circuit board 46. However, it is within the scope of the invention also possible, these components in the fan 10th to arrange yourself.
  • the cylindrical part 20 of the outer housing 12 is closed at the bottom by a circuit board 50, in the middle of a metal bushing 52 is arranged. This is surrounded by a cylindrical portion 54 which is integral with the circuit board 50 and which merges at its upper end in an annular disc 56, which forms a bobbin 57 for a stator winding 58 together with the parts 50 and 54.
  • the board 50 has notches 51 at its outer edge, through which the contact pins 36 and 38 and other contact pins 53 protrude.
  • the rotor 62 has a plastic support member 64 having in its center a hub 66 into which is injected the upper end of the shaft 60 which has a knurl 68 for better anchoring.
  • the outer rotor 62 has approximately the shape of an upside-down shell and has at its periphery a rim portion 70 which extends approximately parallel to the shaft 60.
  • a permanent magnet 72 is injected directly in the two-component injection molding process.
  • the magnet 72 contains hard ferrites in a matrix of plastic, and therefore this plastic with its Hartferritteilchen 74, which can be represented naturally only schematically, e.g. be injected as a ring in the support member 64, wherein the interfaces, which is symbolized by dotted lines 76, intimately connect by melting the plastics.
  • the magnet ring 72 is radially magnetized in a suitable device, as shown symbolically in FIG. 1 by the letters N (north pole) and S (south pole) in the usual way.
  • radially extending fan blades 80 are formed, that is, it is preferably a radial fan.
  • a radial fan Integral with the support member 64 radially extending fan blades 80 are formed, that is, it is preferably a radial fan.
  • the free end 82 of the shaft 60 forms a thrust bearing with the local portion 83 of the board 50, which is opposite to this end 82.
  • the end 82 of the shaft 60 is pressed down against the portion 83, and this is done by the magnetic ring 72 is offset relative to the cylindrical portions shown in Fig. 1, 84, 86 of a Klauenpolteils 88 in the axial direction. In this way, the magnetic ring 72 is pulled by an axial force F down.
  • Fig. 2 shows a variant of the invention.
  • the support member 64 ' here has an axial projection 90, and the magnetic ring 72' is injected during injection around this projection 90 around, so that there can be an even more intimate connection of the plastics.
  • many variants are possible here, e.g. Nubs, grooves, teeth, etc., to make the connection as good as possible.
  • the variant according to FIG. 1 is preferred because there the volume of the ring magnet 72 is greater than in FIG. 2, which improves the engine performance.
