Description

„Diagonallüfter" "Diagonal fan"
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Diagonallüfter, bestehend aus einem Diagonallüfterrad, das auf einem Rotor eines Außenläufermotors befestigt ist, und das zwischen einer Frontplatte mit einer insbesondere mittigen Einströmöffnung und einer Motorhalterung angeordnet ist, wobei die Motorhalterung durch mehrere umfangsgemäß angeordnete Abstandhalter mit der Frontplatte verbunden ist.The present invention relates to a diagonal fan consisting of a Diagonallüfterrad which is mounted on a rotor of an external rotor motor, and which is arranged between a front plate with a particular central inlet opening and a motor mount, wherein the motor mount is connected by a plurality of circumferentially arranged spacers with the front panel ,
Kompaktlüfter, die eine derartige Ausgestaltung aufweisen, sind beispielsweise aus dem Dokument DE 90 17 873 U1 bekannt.Compact fans, which have such a configuration, are known for example from the document DE 90 17 873 U1.
Ausgehend von einem derartigen Kompaktlüfter liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine montagetechnische einfache und kompakte Konstruktion für Diagonallüfter zu verwirklichen, die weiterhin zusätzlich verbesserte Strömungseigenschaften gewährleistet.Based on such a compact fan, the present invention is based on the object to realize a montage technical simple and compact design for diagonal fan, which further ensures additional improved flow characteristics.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dies bei einer eingangs beschriebenen Bauweise eines Diagonallüfters dadurch erreicht, dass die Frontplatte und die Motorhalterung als Kunststoff- und/oder Metallspritzgussteile ausgebildet sind und die Abstandhalter als Kunststoff- und/oder Metallspritzgussteile einstückig mit der Frontplatte oder der Motorhalterung ausgebildet sind. Hierbei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Abstandhalter aus flachen Stegen bestehen, die ein Querschnittsprofil besitzen, dessen Höhe größer ist als die Dicke, und wobei die Stege bevorzugt derart ausgerichtet sein können, dass sie in Ausströmrichtung des aus dem Diagonallüfterrad austretenden Strömungsmediums geneigt verlaufen. Somit wird erfindungsgemäß eine herstellungstechnisch einfache Konstruktion geschaffen, da das aus der Frontplatte und der Motorhalterung gebildete Gehäuse nur aus zwei Einzelteilen besteht. Zudem können alle wesentlichen Funktionen in das Gehäuse integriert werden. Hierbei gewährleistet die bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Abstandhalter, dass geringe Strömungsverwirbelungen bei dem Austritt des Strömungsmediums auftreten, so dass keine störenden Geräusche entstehen können.According to the invention this is achieved in a construction of a diagonal fan described above, characterized in that the front plate and the motor mount are formed as plastic and / or metal injection molded parts and the spacers are formed as plastic and / or metal injection molded parts integral with the front panel or the motor mount. In this case, it is advantageous if the spacers consist of flat webs which have a cross-sectional profile whose height is greater than the thickness, and wherein the webs can preferably be aligned such that they run inclined in the outflow direction of the flow medium emerging from the diagonal fan. Thus, a manufacturing technology simple construction is created according to the invention, since the housing formed from the front panel and the motor mount only consists of two parts. In addition, all essential functions can be integrated into the housing. In this case, the preferred embodiment of the spacers ensures that small Strömungsverwirbelungen occur at the outlet of the flow medium, so that no disturbing noises may arise.

In den verschiedenen Figuren der Zeichnung sind gleiche Teile stets mit denselben Bezugsziffern gekennzeichnet.In the various figures of the drawing, like parts are always identified by the same reference numerals.
Wie zunächst in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellt ist, besteht ein erfindungsgemäßer Diagonallüfter aus einem Diagonallüfterrad 1 , das auf einem Rotor 2 eines Außenläufermotors 3 befestigt ist. Der Außenläufermotor 3 ist zwischen einer Motorhalterung 4 und einer Frontplatte 5 angeordnet. Die Frontplatte 5 besitzt eine mittige Einströmöffnung 6, durch deren Öffnungsmittelpunkt die Drehachse des Außenläufermotors 3 verläuft. Am Umfang der Einströmöffnung 6 ist ein in Richtung auf den Außenläufermotor 3 weisender Randsteg 7 angeformt, wobei der Übergang einer Frontfläche 8 der Frontplatte 5 zum Randsteg 7 verrundet ist, so dass sich ein strömungsgünstiger Wandungsverlauf ausbildet, indem eine Art Einströmdüse gebildet wird. Das Diagonallüfterrad 1 besteht aus einer Nabe 9 (s. Fig. 4), an der umfangsgemäß Lüfterflügel 11 angeordnet sind. Die Lüfterflügel 11 sind in üblicher Weise geformt, wobei sich durch die in Fig. 1 bis 4 dargestellte Schaufelform eine Luftströmung in Pfeilrichtung X über die Einströmöffnung 6 durch das Diagonallüfterrad 1 in diagonaler Richtung, d. h. in einer axial-radialer Strömungsrichtung, hindurch nach außen bei einer Drehrichtung in Pfeilrichtung Y ergibt.As first shown in Figures 1 and 2, a diagonal fan according to the invention consists of a Diagonallüfterrad 1, which is mounted on a rotor 2 of an external rotor motor 3. The external rotor motor 3 is arranged between a motor mount 4 and a front plate 5. The front plate 5 has a central inflow opening 6, through the opening center of which the axis of rotation of the external rotor motor 3 extends. At the periphery of the inflow opening 6, a peripheral web 7 pointing in the direction of the external rotor motor 3 is formed, wherein the transition of a front surface 8 of the front panel 5 to the edge web 7 is rounded, so that a flow-favorable wall course is formed by forming a type of inlet nozzle. The diagonal fan wheel 1 consists of a hub 9 (see Fig. 4) on which fan blades 11 are arranged circumferentially. The fan blades 11 are shaped in a conventional manner, wherein an air flow in the direction of arrow X via the inlet opening 6 through the diagonal fan 1 in the diagonal direction, d. By the blade shape shown in FIGS. H. in an axial-radial flow direction, through outward in a direction of rotation in the direction of arrow Y results.
Die Lüfterflügel 11 werden von einem Luftführungsmantel 12 umgeben, der vorzugsweise mit den Lüfterflügeln 11 an ihren Enden verbunden ist, so dass er sich mit den Lüfterflügeln 11 mitdreht. Hierzu wird insbesondere auf die Figuren 3 und 4 verwiesen. Die Nabe 9 und der Luftführungsmantel 12 haben die Form eines Kegelstumpfes, wobei die entsprechenden Radien von der Einströmseite (Ansaugseite) zu der Ausblasseite zunehmen. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass die Strömung zu ihrer axialen Strömungskomponente eine radiale Strömungskomponente erhält, wodurch eine Druckerhöhung bewirkt wird. Das Diagonallüfterrad 1 besitzt einströmseitig an dem Luftführungsmantel 12 einen Ringkragen 13, der die Einströmöffnung des Diagonallüfterrades 1 umfasst. Der Außendurchmesser des Ringkragens 13 ist derart bemessen, dass er in montiertem Zustand in die von dem Randsteg 7 umschlossene Einströmöffnung berührungsfrei mit geringem Spiel hineinragt. In seiner Stirnfläche 14 weist der Ringkragen 13 Taschen 15 auf (Fig. 3), in denen Auswuchtgewichte befestigt werden können. Der Außenläufermotor 3 besitzt an seinem Stator 16 einen Statorflansch 17, der zur Befestigung der Motorhalterung 4 dient. Hierzu besitzt die Motorhalterung 4 eine kreisförmige Halteplatte 18, deren Außendurchmesser dem Außendurchmesser der kreisförmigen Nabe 9 angepasst ist. Der Statorflansch 17 wird mittels Schrauben mit der Halteplatte 18 durch Schraublöcher 19 in dieser verschraubt.The fan blades 11 are surrounded by an air guide casing 12, which is preferably connected to the fan blades 11 at their ends, so that it rotates with the fan blades 11. Reference is made in particular to FIGS. 3 and 4. The hub 9 and the air duct 12 have the shape of a truncated cone, with the corresponding radii increasing from the inflow side (suction side) to the blow-out side. This ensures that the flow to its axial flow component receives a radial flow component, whereby an increase in pressure is effected. The Diagonallüfterrad 1 has On the inflow side of the air guide casing 12, an annular collar 13, which comprises the inflow opening of the diagonal fan wheel 1. The outer diameter of the annular collar 13 is dimensioned such that it protrudes in the mounted state in the enclosed by the edge web 7 inflow without contact with little play. In its end face 14, the annular collar 13 pockets 15 (Fig. 3), in which balancing weights can be attached. The external rotor motor 3 has at its stator 16 a stator flange 17, which serves for fastening the motor mount 4. For this purpose, the motor mount 4 has a circular retaining plate 18 whose outer diameter is adapted to the outer diameter of the circular hub 9. The stator flange 17 is screwed by means of screws to the holding plate 18 through screw holes 19 in this.
Die Verbindung zwischen der Motorhalterung 4 und der Frontplatte 5 erfolgt über Abstandhalter 21. Im vorliegenden Fall sind vier Abstandhalter 21 am Umfang der Halteplatte 18 an deren Umfangsrand 22 angeformt.The connection between the motor mount 4 and the front plate 5 via spacers 21. In the present case, four spacers 21 are integrally formed on the periphery of the support plate 18 at the peripheral edge 22.
Die Abstandhalter 21 bestehen aus flachen Stegen 23 mit einem Querschnittsprofil, dessen Höhe bzw. Breite größer als dessen Dicke ist. Die Stege 23 bestehen aus einem ersten Stegschenkel 24, der sich etwa radial nach außen von der Umfangswand 22 erstreckt und über eine ca. 90°-Biegung in einen zweiten, etwa in axialer Richtung, d.h. parallel zur Motorachse verlaufenden Stegschenkel 26 übergeht. Die derart geformten Stege 23 umfassen das Diagonallüfterrad 1. Hierbei sind die Stege 23 mit dem flachen Profil ihrer Stegschenkeln 24, 26 derart schräg ausgerichtet, dass sie in Ausblasrichtung des aus dem Diagonallüfterrad 1 austretenden Luftstroms verlaufen. Hierdurch werden Strömungswirbel reduziert, die zu Strömungsgeräuschen führen würden. Die Stege 23 besitzen an ihren freien Enden ein plattenförmiges Verbindungselement 27, mit dem sie an der Frontplatte 5 an deren Rückseite befestigt werden, und zwar vorzugsweise durch eine lösbare Verbindung z. B. mittels Schrauben. Hierzu weist die Frontplatte 5 Lagervorsprünge 28 auf. Im jeweiligen Verbindungsbereich der Verbindungselemente 27 der Abstandhalter 21 mit den Lagervorsprüngen 28 können Hohlkammern 20 gebildet sein. Diese Hohlkammern 20 können zur Aufnahme von elektronischen Bauteilen, z. B. auch Kondensatoren, als Bestandteile einer Motorelektronik dienen. Im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 bis 4 sind hauptsächlich die Lagervorsprünge 28 als Hohlkammern 20 geformt (siehe insbesondere Fig. 4). Die plattenförmigen Verbindungselemente 27 dienen dabei zweckmäßigerweise gleichzeitig als Deckel für die hohl kammerartigen Lagervorsprünge 28.The spacers 21 consist of flat webs 23 with a cross-sectional profile whose height or width is greater than its thickness. The webs 23 consist of a first web leg 24, which extends approximately radially outwardly from the peripheral wall 22 and over a approximately 90 ° bend in a second, approximately in the axial direction, ie parallel to the motor axis extending web leg 26 passes. In this case, the webs 23 with the flat profile of their web legs 24, 26 are aligned obliquely so that they extend in the direction of discharge of the emerging from the diagonal fan 1 air flow. As a result, flow vortices are reduced, which would lead to flow noise. The webs 23 have at their free ends a plate-shaped connecting element 27 with which they are attached to the front panel 5 at the rear, preferably by a releasable connection z. B. by means of screws. For this purpose, the front plate 5 bearing projections 28. In the respective connection region of the connecting elements 27 of the spacers 21 with the bearing projections 28 hollow chambers 20 may be formed. These hollow chambers 20 may be for receiving electronic components, for. As well as capacitors, serve as components of an engine electronics. In the first embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4, the bearing protrusions 28 are mainly shaped as hollow chambers 20 (see in particular FIG. 4). The plate-shaped connecting elements 27 serve expediently at the same time as a lid for the hollow-chamber-like bearing projections 28th
Wie in den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen gezeigt, besteht jeder Abstandhalter 21 bevorzugt aus zwei Stegen 23, die parallel zueinander verlaufen und an ihren freien Enden über das Verbindungselement 27 miteinander verbunden sind. Im Bereich zwischen den Anbindungen der Stege 23 an der Halteplatte 18 und dem Verbindungselement 27 können die Stege 23 durch mindestens einen Brückensteg 29 zur Aussteifung miteinander verbunden sein.As shown in the illustrated embodiments, each spacer 21 preferably consists of two webs 23 which are parallel to each other and are connected together at their free ends via the connecting element 27. In the region between the connections of the webs 23 on the holding plate 18 and the connecting element 27, the webs 23 may be connected to each other by at least one bridge web 29 for stiffening.
Gemäß Fig. 1 bis 4 weisen die Verbindungselemente 27 an ihren kürzeren Querseiten- rändern angeformte Führungsansätze 31 auf, die in Führungstaschen 32 der Lagervorsprünge 28 hineinpassen und beim Befestigen der Stege 23 in diese hineingesteckt werden. Wie aus Fig. 4 zu erkennen ist, besitzt die Nabe 9 an ihrer der Motorhalterung 4 zugekehrten Stirnseite in einer Wandung des Nabenkörpers Taschen 33, in die Auswuchtgewichte eingesteckt werden können. Auf ihrer Rückseite ist die Frontplatte 5 mit einer Rippenstruktur 25 versehen, wodurch einerseits eine Materialersparnis und andererseits eine Versteifung der Frontplatte 5 erreicht wird.
