Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Wandring für einen Axialventilator, bestehend aus einem Tragrahmen, an dem ein rondenförmiger Stutzen ausgebildet ist, in dem der Axialventilator angeordnet wird.The present invention relates to a wall ring for an axial fan, consisting of a support frame, on which a Ronde-shaped socket is formed, in which the axial fan is arranged.

Derartige, ein einstückiges Bauteil bildende Wandringe benötigen einerseits viel Lagerraum und andererseits auch ein erhebliches Transportvolumen und sind in der Fertigung auf Grund der aufwändigen Werkzeuge, die zum Spritzgießen der beispielsweise aus Kunststoff bestehenden Wandringe erforderlich sind, teuer in der Herstellung.Such, one-piece component forming wall rings need on the one hand a lot of storage space and on the other hand, a considerable transport volume and are expensive to manufacture due to the complex tools that are required for injection molding of plastic, for example, existing wall rings, expensive to manufacture.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen Wandring der eingangs beschriebenen Art zu schaffen, dessen Herstellung durch die Verwendung einfacher Spritzwerkzeuge kostengünstiger ist und der einen geringeren Platzbedarf bei der Lagerung und beim Transport aufweist.The present invention is based on the object to provide a wall ring of the type described above, whose production is cheaper by the use of simple injection molds and has a smaller footprint in storage and during transport.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, dass der Tragrahmen aus mehreren Rahmenelementen mittels form- und kraftschlüssiger Verbindungselemente zusammengesetzt ist und der rondenförmige Stutzen aus mehreren umfangsgemäß hintereinander angeordneten Rondensegmenten gebildet ist, die durch form- und kraftschlüssige Verbindungen miteinander und mit dem Tragrahmen verbunden sind.According to the invention this is achieved in that the support frame is composed of a plurality of frame members by means of positive and non-positive fasteners and the Ronde-shaped nozzle is formed from a plurality circumferentially arranged behind one another Ronde segments, which are connected by positive and non-positive connections with each other and with the support frame.

Hierbei ist es insbesondere vorteilhaft, wenn der Tragrahmen aus vier Rahmenelementen zusammengesetzt ist und der rondenförmige Stutzen aus mindestens acht, vorzugsweise zwölf Segmenten zusammengefügt wird, so dass die Segmente eine 45 ° Teilung bzw. eine 30 ° Teilung des rondenförmigen Stutzens bedingen. Dabei ist es insbesondere vorteilhaft, wenn der Tragrahmen eine rechteckförmige, insbesondere quadratische Umfangskontur mit vier Ecken und eine zentrische Öffnung besitzt, wobei vier verbreiterte Eckbereiche ausgebildet sind und die Rahmenelemente durch eine Teilung gemäß den beiden durch die Ecken verlaufenden Diagonalen gebildet sind.It is particularly advantageous if the support frame is composed of four frame elements and the round-shaped nozzle is assembled from at least eight, preferably twelve segments, so that the segments cause a 45 ° pitch or a 30 ° pitch of the Ronde-shaped neck. It is particularly advantageous if the support frame has a rectangular, in particular square peripheral contour with four corners and a central opening, wherein four widened corner regions are formed and the frame members are formed by a division according to the two extending through the corners diagonals.

Durch die Unterteilung des Tragrahmens in einzelne Rahmenelemente und die Unterteilung des rondenförmigen Stutzens in mehrere Rondensegmente ergibt sich eine sehr raumsparende Lagerung und ein geringes Transportvolumen, da die einzelnen Segmente zu Segmentpaketen zusammengefasst werden können und die Zusammensetzung des erfindungsgemäßen Wandrings erst vor dem Einbau des Axialventilators erfolgt. Durch die erfindungsgemäßen form- und kraftschlüssigen Verbindungen der einzelnen Elemente bzw. Segmente miteinander und untereinander ergibt sich einerseits ein einfaches Zusammensetzen der Einzelteile und darüberhinaus eine sehr robuste Verbindung, die die erforderlichen Haltekräfte aufnehmen kann.By dividing the support frame into individual frame elements and the subdivision of the Ronde-shaped nozzle into a plurality Ronde segments results in a very space-saving storage and a low transport volume, since the individual segments can be combined into segment packets and the composition of the wall ring according to the invention takes place only before the installation of the axial fan , Due to the positive and non-positive connections of the individual elements or segments according to the invention with each other and with each other, on the one hand a simple assembly of the items and beyond a very robust connection that can accommodate the required holding forces.

In Fig. 1 ist ein erfindungsgemäßer Wandring dargestellt. Dieser besteht aus einem Tragrahmen 1, an dem ein rondenförmiger Stutzen 2 über Form- und Kraftschluss-Verbindungselemente 3 befestigt ist. Der Tragrahmen 1 umfasst eine kreisförmige Öffnung 4. Der Tragrahmen 1 seinerseits ist aus mehreren miteinander über Form- und Kraftschluss-Verbindungselemente 5 verbundene Rahmenelemente 6 zusammengesetzt. Hierbei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Tragrahmen 1 eine rechteckige, insbesondere quadratische Umrisskontur besitzt, so dass er vier insbesondere gleich lange Rahmenkanten 7 aufweist sowie vier Ecken 8. Indem der Tragrahmen 1 gemäß seiner beiden Diagonalen d1, d2 durch die Ecken 8 in die vier Rahmenelemente 6 unterteil ist, entstehen vier baugleiche oder zweimal zwei baugleiche Rahmenelemente 6 mit einer inneren, entsprechend einem Viertelkreis gebogenen Begrenzungskante 9. Weiterhin weist jedes Rahmenelement 6 seitliche Verbindungsseitenkanten 10 auf, die im zusammengefügten Zustand mit den Diagonalen d1 und d2 entsprechend zusammenfallen und mit den Rahmenkanten 7 einen Winkel von 45 ° einschließen. Der Durchmesser der Öffnung 4 und der Innendurchmesser des rondenförmigen Stutzens 2 sind an den Durchmesser eines Schaufelrades eines zu montierenden Axialventilators in bekannter Weise angepasst. Weiterhin ist zu erkennen, dass in den Eckbereichen des Tragrahmens 1 Löcher 33 ausgebildet sind, durch die Befestigungselemente hindurchgeführt werden, wenn der Tragrahmen 1 an einer Gehäusewand oder dergleichen befestigt wird.In Fig. 1 an inventive wall ring is shown. This consists of a support frame 1, on which a round-shaped nozzle 2 is attached via form and adhesion-connection elements 3. The support frame 1 comprises a circular opening 4. The support frame 1 in turn is composed of several frame members 6 connected to each other via form and force-locking connection elements 5. It is advantageous if the support frame 1 has a rectangular, in particular square outline contour, so that it has four in particular equal length frame edges 7 and four corners 8. By the support frame 1 according to its two diagonals d1, d2 through the corners 8 in the four Further, each frame member 6 has lateral connection side edges 10, which coincide in the assembled state with the diagonals d1 and d2 and coincide with the Frame edges 7 include an angle of 45 °. The diameter of the opening 4 and the inner diameter of the ronde-shaped nozzle 2 are adapted to the diameter of a blade wheel of an axial fan to be mounted in a known manner. Furthermore, it can be seen that in the corner regions of the support frame 1 holes 33 are formed, are passed through the fasteners when the support frame 1 is attached to a housing wall or the like.

Im Randbereich der Verbindungsseitenkanten 10 sind die Verbindungselemente 5 vorgesehen, die aus Rastelementen 11, 12 und Führungselementen 13, 14 bestehen, so dass die Rahmenelemente 6 form- und kraftschlüssig miteinander verbunden werden können. Die Rastelemente sind als Rastzungen 11 an einer Verbindungsseitenkante 10 eines Rahmenelementes 6 ausgebildet und wirken mit Rastaufnahmen 12 zusammen, die an der Verbindungsseitenkante 10 des anderen, angrenzenden Rahmenelementes 6 ausgebildet sind. Entsprechendes gilt für die Führungselemente 13, 14, die als Führungszapfen 13 des einen Rahmenelementes 6 im Bereich seiner Verbindungsseitenkante 10 mit zugehörigen Zapfenaufnahmen 14 an der Verbindungsseitenkante 10 des anderen Rahmenelementes 6 zusammenwirken. Die Rastzungen 11 weisen eine mittlere Öffnung 15 auf, in die Rastnocken 16 der Rastaufnahmen 12 im zusammengefügten Zustand einrasten, wobei die Rastzungen 11 zwischen beidseitig des Rastnockens 16 angeformten Begrenzungsvorsprüngen 17 geführt werden. Die Zapfenaufnahmen 14 weisen eine einseitig randoffene Durchgangsöffnung 18 auf. Der Führungszapfen 13 besitzt einen Führungsfortsatz 19, der durch den randoffenen Bereich der Durchgangsöffnung 18 verläuft, so das eine Form- und Kraftschlussverbindung zwischen Führungsfortsatz 19 und Zapfenaufnahme 14 entsteht.In the edge region of the connecting side edges 10, the connecting elements 5 are provided, which consist of locking elements 11, 12 and guide elements 13, 14, so that the frame members 6 can be positively and non-positively connected to each other. The latching elements are formed as latching tongues 11 on a connection side edge 10 of a frame element 6 and cooperate with latching receptacles 12 which are formed on the connection side edge 10 of the other, adjacent frame element 6. The same applies to the guide elements 13, 14, which cooperate as a guide pin 13 of a frame member 6 in the region of its connection side edge 10 with associated pin receivers 14 on the connection side edge 10 of the other frame member 6. The locking tongues 11 have a central opening 15, engage in the locking cam 16 of the locking receptacles 12 in the assembled state, wherein the locking tongues 11 between Both sides of the locking cam 16 integrally formed limiting projections 17 are performed. The pin receptacles 14 have a one-sided open-edged passage opening 18. The guide pin 13 has a guide extension 19, which passes through the open-edge region of the passage opening 18, so that a positive and frictional connection between the guide extension 19 and pin receptacle 14 is formed.

Die Fig. 4 und 5 zeigen die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung der Verbindungselemente 11, 12 und Führungselemente 13, 14.The 4 and 5 show the inventive design of the connecting elements 11, 12 and guide elements 13, 14th

Erfindungsgemäß sind somit die Rahmenelemente 6, insbesondere bei der quadratischen Ausführung, alle baugleich ausgeführt und können mit demselben Formwerkzeug, beispielsweise im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt werden. Bei rechteckförmiger Ausführung ergeben sich pro Tragrahmen 1 zweimal zwei gleiche Rahmenelemente 6. Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, dass sich durch diese Ausgestaltung eine einfache Lagerbevorratung ergibt und das Transportvolumen sehr gering ist. Weiterhin besitzen die Rahmenelemente 6 im Bereich ihrer kreisbogenförmigen Begrenzungskante 9 mehrere senkrecht zu ihrer Oberfläche verlaufende Rastzungen 11, die mit angepassten Rastaufnahmen 12 an dem rondenförmigen Stutzen 2 zusammenwirken. Diese Rastzungen 11 und Rastaufnahmen 12 sind entsprechend den Verbindungselementen 11, 12 an den Verbindungsseitenkanten 10, auch an den Rahmenelementen 6 im Bereich der Begrenzungskanten 9 ausgebildet. Der rondenförmige Stutzen 2 besteht aus einem zylinderförmigen Abschnitt 20 sowie einem zwischen diesem und dem Tragrahmen 1 verlaufenden, in axialer Richtung seiner mittleren Längsachse X-X bogenförmig gekrümmten, ringförmigen Übergangsabschnitt 21, so dass sich eine düsenförmige Kontur ergibt. Erfindungsgemäß ist der rondenförmige Stutzen 2 aus mehreren Rondensegmenten 22 zusammengefügt. Vorteilhafterweise werden mindestens acht Rondensegmente 22 verwendet, so dass sich eine 45 ° Teilung ergibt. Im dargestellten bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel besteht der Stutzen 2 aus zwölf einzelnen Rondensegmenten 22, so dass eine 30 ° Teilung vorhanden ist, die an ihren aneinander liegenden Seitenkanten 23, 24 im Bereich des zylinderförmigen Abschnitts 20 jeweils über Verbindungselemente 25, 26 miteinander verbunden werden. Die Verbindungselemente 25, 26 bestehen aus parallel zur Seitenkante 23 verlaufende, nach außen abstehende Führungsleisten 25, die in eine Führungsnut einer im Querschnitt U-förmigen Führungsschiene 26 an der Seitenkante 24 des angrenzenden Rondensegmentes 22 eingeschoben werden kann. Im Bereich des Übergangsabschnitts 21 sind Führungselemente 29, 30 ausgebildet, und zwar an den angrenzenden Seitenkanten 23, 24, wobei die Führungselemente der Seitenkante 23 aus Führungszapfen 29 und die korrespondierenden Führungselemente an der Seitenkante 24 aus Zapfenaufnahmen 30 gebildet sind. Diese Führungselemente 29, 30 können wieder entsprechend den Führungselementen 13, 14 ausgebildet sein.According to the invention, therefore, the frame elements 6, in particular in the square design, all constructed identical and can be made with the same mold, for example by injection molding. In the case of a rectangular design, two identical frame elements 6 result twice per support frame 1. Another advantage is that this design results in a simple storage of stock and the transport volume is very low. Furthermore, the frame elements 6 have in the region of their arcuate boundary edge 9 a plurality of perpendicular to its surface extending locking tongues 11, which cooperate with matched locking receptacles 12 on the circular-shaped nozzle 2. These latching tongues 11 and latching receptacles 12 are formed corresponding to the connecting elements 11, 12 on the connection side edges 10, and also on the frame elements 6 in the region of the boundary edges 9. The round-shaped nozzle 2 consists of a cylindrical portion 20 and an extending between this and the support frame 1, in the axial direction of its central longitudinal axis XX arcuately curved annular transition portion 21, so that there is a nozzle-shaped contour. According to the ronde-shaped nozzle 2 is composed of several Ronde segments 22. Advantageously, at least eight blank segments 22 are used, resulting in a 45 ° pitch. In the illustrated preferred embodiment, the nozzle 2 consists of twelve individual Ronde segments 22, so that a 30 ° pitch exists is, which are connected to each other at their juxtaposed side edges 23, 24 in the region of the cylindrical portion 20 via connecting elements 25, 26. The connecting elements 25, 26 consist of parallel to the side edge 23 extending, outwardly projecting guide rails 25 which can be inserted into a guide groove of a cross-sectionally U-shaped guide rail 26 on the side edge 24 of the adjacent Ronde segment 22. Guiding elements 29, 30 are formed in the region of the transitional section 21, specifically on the adjacent side edges 23, 24, wherein the guide elements of the side edge 23 are formed of guide pins 29 and the corresponding guide elements on the side edge 24 are formed of pin holders 30.
