Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an arrangement with a fan, a fan receptacle for receiving the fan and a housing or the like for receiving the fan receptacle, wherein the housing has fixing means by means of which the fan receptacle is fixable to the housing.
  • Such an arrangement is known, for example, in the refrigerator and / or freezer sector.
  • a conventional fan 10 is inserted in a resilient or resilient material consisting of a fan receptacle 20, as shown in FIG. 1 is shown schematically.
  • the connection of the fan receptacle 20 with the fan 10 is carried out such that the fan receptacle 20, which serves as an absorber, is pulled over the fan 10 at the corners.
  • this assembly consisting of fan 10 and fan receptacle 20 is connected to fixing means 32 of the housing 30 of the device, as can be seen from FIG. 2 evident.
  • This connection is made by the fact that the Fan seat 20 is inserted with fan 10 on one side in recordings, as is the case for example on the underside of the fan 10, and on the other side with locking means or with latching hooks 39 are connected, as shown in FIG. 2 is shown.
  • it is necessary to deflect the latching hook or hooks 39 with a tool since otherwise the soft material of the fan mount 20 is withdrawn from the fan 10 again. An exact location of the fan holder 20 is thus not always 100% guaranteed.
  • the present invention is therefore the object of developing an arrangement of the type mentioned in such a way that it is optimized in terms of noise insulation and beyond can be reliably mounted.
  • the fan receptacle comprises a first component to which the fan at least partially abuts and at least partially abuts the housing and that the fan receptacle comprises a second component, compared to the first component, a greater hardness and / or a has lower elasticity and / or lower deformability and which rests in the assembled state of the fan to the fixing means of the housing and / or is during assembly of the fan receptacle with the fixing means of the housing in contact.
  • the fan receptacle comprises a first, softer component and a second, harder component, wherein the first component, which is referred to below as a soft component, serves for noise damping / damping at the contact surfaces of the fan and thus for decoupling, a sealing function between the fan and the housing may have, preferably forms a Eiastizticians Scheme for the fan intake and can compensate for the tolerances in the sealing and snap or connection area.
  • the fan receptacle further comprises a second component, which is referred to below as a hard component, which preferably forms the joining surfaces during assembly in the housing or the contact surface of the snap or latching connection and thereby secure connection or latching of the fan intake ensures the housing.
  • a hard component which preferably forms the joining surfaces during assembly in the housing or the contact surface of the snap or latching connection and thereby secure connection or latching of the fan intake ensures the housing.
  • the first component has one or more receiving areas for receiving portions, preferably of corner regions of the fan.
  • This soft component may, for example, in its corner regions groove-like areas or other recesses, in which the corner regions of the fan can be used, which is readily possible due to the elastic deformability of the soft component.
  • the second component surrounds the first component in regions or completely.
  • the second component surrounds the first component in a frame-shaped manner.
  • the housing may have a support region for the fan receptacle, wherein the first component is designed such that it is located between the fan and the support region of the housing, so that the fan does not directly contact the support region of the housing.
  • the soft component is thus arranged such that it serves as a damping element between the actual fan and the support region of the housing, which means in other words that the fan is not directly adjacent to the housing. There is thus a decoupling instead.
  • first component and / or the second component consist of a single part.
  • both parts are made together or are made in one piece. They may for example consist of a two-component injection-molded part, wherein the required functions are each satisfied by the hard or soft component. While the soft component primarily performs noise reduction or damping, the task of the hard component is to ensure a reliable and reliable fixation of the fan receptacle on the housing.
  • the first component d. H. the soft component, one or more investment areas, where the fan rests in one or more lateral areas.
  • These contact surfaces can be divided, for example, laterally circumferentially on small ribs. As a result, the sound transmission surface is reduced, so that a decoupling is conceivable not only on the side of the fan facing the housing, but also in lateral areas of the fan.
  • the second component, d. H. the hard component may have one or more ribs or other projections, with which this rests against the housing.
  • these ribs can be designed as positioning ribs and ensure correct positioning of the fan intake on the housing.
  • the second component ie the hard component
  • the second component has means with which it is in the assembled state with the fixing means in combination.
  • These means may be latching means, in particular latching hooks, by means of which the second component and thus the fan receptacle can be locked to the fixing means of the housing.
  • the fixing means of the housing may be formed by brackets which are arranged on the housing, preferably in one piece with these in connection and in which the fan receptacle is inserted and / or with which the fan receptacle is latched. It is thus conceivable, for example, to insert the fan receptacle on one side into the receptacle or fixing means and to lock it on another side with fixing means of the housing designed as stirrups.
  • the fan intake may be an injection molded part consisting of two components.
  • the first component d. H. in the soft component
  • the material comes, for example TPE, d. H. thermoplastic polyethylene, which has very good damping properties.
  • the hardness is preferably 20 Shore, but can also be between 10 Shore and 70 Shore or 30 Shore and 50 Shore or between 15 Shore and 25 Shore.
  • the hard component makes it possible to safely eject the soft material over the hard surfaces in the injection mold.
  • the present invention further relates to a refrigerator and / or freezer with at least one arrangement according to one of claims 1 to 14.
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a commercially available fan 10, which is arranged in a ventilator receptacle 20.
  • the fan receptacle 20 is in turn arranged by fixing means in a housing 30 of a cover or panel of a refrigerator or freezer.
  • housing is to be understood broadly and includes any means for receiving said fan intake.
  • the fixing means of the housing on the one hand consist of bow-shaped sections 32 ', are inserted into the corner regions of the fan receptacle 20, as in FIG. 3 , shown in the left part of the figure.
  • the fixing means also consist of brackets 32 ", with which the fan receptacle 20 is locked.
  • the fan receptacle 20 consists of a first component 21, which is made comparatively soft relative to a second component 22 of the fan receptacle 20, ie a higher elasticity, deformability and lower hardness than the second component 22.
  • the hereinafter referred to as the soft component first component 21 has four corner areas, in which recesses or gap-shaped receptacles are provided for the corner regions of the fan 10, as in a comparable manner in FIG. 1 is shown to the prior art.
  • the soft component 21 is surrounded by a harder component of lower elasticity, lower deformability and higher hardness 22.
  • This second component 22, referred to below as the hard component thus surrounds the soft component 21, preferably in the shape of a frame.
  • the fan receptacle 20 is a two-component injection-molded part which consists of the outer hard component 22 and of the inner soft component 21.
  • the housing 30 has a support region 31 for the fan 10 or for the fan receptacle 20.
  • the soft component 21 is designed such that it rests on this support region 31 and thus lies between the support region 31 and the fan 10. The fan 10 is thus not directly on the support area 31.
  • the fan is not directly connected in its side regions with the hard component 22, but is only indirectly with this, and indirectly via the soft component 22, which surrounds the fan 10 in the form of a frame in connection.
  • the fan is thus exclusively in communication with the soft component 21, which in turn is connected to the hard component 22.
  • the soft component 21 may have one or more contact regions 23 (cf. FIG. 4 ), where the fan 10 in one or more lateral areas is applied. In this way it is prevented that there is an immediate contact between the fan 10 and the hard component 22 or the housing 30.
  • These contact areas can be designed in the form of one or more ribs 24.
  • the hard component 22 may have one or more ribs 25 or other positioning projections, with which the hard component 22 is in communication with the housing 30 and ensures the correct positioning of the fan receptacle 20 on or in the housing 30.
  • the fan 10 is surrounded exclusively by the soft component 21, so that there is a decoupling between the fan 10 on the one hand and the housing 30.
  • the soft component 21 may be a material having a resilience between 20% and 30%. These values are only exemplary and do not limit the invention. It can be considered any material with a certain elasticity and suitable damping properties such as thermoplastic polyethylene.
  • the fan receptacle 20 is expanded in its elastic region of the soft component 21 and is mounted on the fan 10.
  • the pre-assembled in this way assembly, ie the fan fan is then as before in the receptacle of the housing 30, z. B. down, that is inserted into the bracket 32 'and then on the other side, ie preferably above, with the brackets 32 "locked ..
  • the hard design of the locking hooks 26 a secure locking is ensured circumferentially small contact surface or projections 25 on the hard component 22 guaranteed.
  • FIG. 5 conceivable that the latching connections just described not only on one side, but on both sides of the fan or the fan intake are available. Such an embodiment is in FIG. 5 shown.
  • the locking takes place in four places.
  • a positioning perpendicular to the sealing surface is possible.
  • four of the brackets 32 "arranged on the housing 30 are provided, one of which is arranged in the corner region of the fan.” With these brackets 32 "latching hooks 26 are latched which form the locking part of the hard component 22 or are formed integrally therewith ,
  • FIG. 5 It can be seen that is located between the fan 10 and the support surface 31 of the housing 30, the soft component 21, so that the fan 10 is at any point directly to the housing 30 or the hard component 22 in conjunction.
  • the hard component 22 may surround the soft component 21 in the shape of a frame.
  • the frame can be closed or executed with openings, which has the advantage that the deformability of the fan mount is improved.
  • the hard component 22 it is also possible for the hard component 22 to be connected to the soft component only in partial sections, that is to say not in the shape of a frame.
  • the hard component is arranged only where the fixing means of the housing are, or where a certain skill and / or hardness of the fan intake is required.
  • the hard component 22 preferably also has a certain elasticity, whereby the assembly of the fan 10 in the fan receptacle 20 is facilitated.
