Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fan with a heat sink designed as a plastic cover.
  • a heat sink has the task of absorbing heat from an element to be cooled and releasing it again into a surrounding medium. This usually comes for the heat sink, a material with a high thermal conductivity such.
  • Heat sinks are also used for motors.
  • DE 19841583 A1 is concerned with a heat sink for cooling elements, in particular semiconductor components, motors and units, in particular a cooling unit made at least partly from extruded aluminum or other light metal, consisting of at least two separate base profiles for mounting the electrical components which are spaced apart and connected to one another by means of a plurality of separate cooling fins. At least one fan is also provided between two adjacent base profiles.
  • heat conduction also called heat diffusion or conduction - is understood in physics the heat flow due to a temperature difference. According to the second law of thermodynamics, heat flows only in the direction of a lower temperature, i.e. in the direction of the temperature.
  • Thermal conduction is a mechanism for transporting thermal energy without the need for a macroscopic flow of material as with the alternative mechanism of convection.
  • the heat transport by heat radiation is also considered as a separate mechanism.
  • a measure of the heat conduction in a certain substance is the thermal conductivity.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide cooling which can be produced cost-effectively and functions reliably for the electronics of a fan motor of a fan.
  • a basic idea of the present invention is to cool the electronics of a fan with the aid of a plastic heat sink instead of a metal heat sink.
  • This approach which is unknown in the prior art, can be realized by using the heat sink as a cover with a very thin wall thickness with a specific shape and surface.
  • several effects are used cumulatively, namely heat conduction, heat convection and the reduction of heat build-up by using a thin-walled plastic material with a large, efficient surface and a comparatively large proportion with a direct contact surface for heat-producing components.
  • a fan is provided with electronics on a printed circuit board, in which a cover is provided above the electronics, which acts both as an active and as a passive heat sink, the cover being designed essentially as a flat cover element made of a thin-walled plastic and has a shape which has a surface which is effective for cooling the electronics arranged under the cover and which is at least a factor of 2 larger than the projected base area of the cover.
  • the cover has a cooling fin structure with a plurality of cooling fins which enlarge the effective surface.
  • the cover forms a plurality of depressions, in which fastening openings are provided, on which the cover is detachably fastened to the fan via releasable fastening means.
  • the cover in the area of the cooling fin structure has a flat contact side for direct contacting of heat-producing components.
  • the cover has the cooling fin structure in one or more areas or forms several areas with such a cooling fin structure.
  • the cooling fins are attached or designed to run radially outward, as a result of which a structure which is open to the radially outward and upward can be realized, which has an advantageous effect on the production and the cooling effect.
  • cooling fins have a changing, in particular decreasing wall thickness.
  • Other shapes and configurations of the wall thickness are also conceivable to improve the heat dissipation effects.
  • an overall thin wall thickness is aimed for in order to achieve rapid heat dissipation and also to prevent heat build-up.
  • a further optimization is a solution in which the cover forms a flat contact surface on the underside facing the electronics and in the assembled state this contact surface bears against the electronic components at least in sections.
  • the cover is formed from an essentially round section, to which a projection (preferably with a linearly extending side edge) is integrally connected. It has also been shown to be advantageous if the material of the cover is a polyamide (PA), polyurethane (PUR), polycarbonate (PC) or polyethylene (PE). In a further advantageous embodiment it is provided that the thickness of the cover in that area which is parallel to the arrangement of the printed circuit board and / or the area of the flat contact surface is at least a factor of 2 lower than in an edge area or a area of the cover, which extends towards the electronics. As a result, the essential stabilizing properties can be placed in the edge area and the essential thermal properties in the flat area and the areas with the cooling fins.

  • PUR polyurethane
  • PC polycarbonate

  • FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view through a radial fan
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the radial fan from FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 shows a top view of the cover of the electronics of the radial fan from FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the cover from FIG. 3,
  • FIG. 5 shows a sectional view through the cover from FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic sectional view through a fan 1, here a radial fan.
  • the fan 1 is formed with electronics on a circuit board 2.
  • a cover 10 according to the invention is shown above the electronics and is designed both as an active and as a passive heat sink.
  • the cover 10, as can be seen in FIGS. 3 to 5, is essentially designed as a flat cover element made of a thin-walled plastic and has a shape which has a surface 11 which is effective for cooling the electronics arranged under the cover 10 and which is opposite the projected base area of the cover 10 is larger by at least a factor of 2 due to the cooling fin structure with a plurality of cooling fins 12 shown in FIG. As can also be seen, the cooling fins run or extend radially outwards.
  • the projected base area results from the illustration in FIG. 3.
  • the effectively effective surface area is significantly increased by the rib structure.
  • the cover 10 is formed from an essentially central round section 17 to which a projection 18 with a straight side edge is integrally connected.
  • the cover 10 forms a plurality of recesses 13 in which fastening openings 14 are provided.
  • the cover 20 is releasably attached to the fan 1 in operative connection with the electronics via releasable fastening means 15 (e.g. screws).
  • the cover 10 forms a flat contact surface 19 on the underside facing the electronics, so that in the assembled state it bears against electronic components at least in sections. In the sectional view through the cover 10, as shown in FIG. 5, it has a flat contact side 16 in the region of the cooling fin structure for contacting heat-producing components of the electronics.
  • cooling fins 12 have a changing, have a slightly decreasing wall thickness, especially from bottom to top, and taper slightly, so to speak.
  • the embodiment of the invention is not limited to the preferred exemplary embodiments specified above. Rather, it is conceivable, the shape and design of the lid to the respective requirement accordingly and z. B. adapt the number of areas with rib structures to the specific cooling task.
