- the core 40A here has a minimum thickness substantially equidistant from the two arms 40B, in the direction of the axis of rotation A of the wheel fan 12.
- the core 40A has a flared shape from its part corresponding to its minimum thickness towards each of the two arms 40B. The core 40A thus allows a certain flexibility of the second pad 40, which can thus be deformed.
- each second pad 40 still has a generally cylindrical shape, in that each second pad 40 has a constant cross section, each second pad extending in a radial direction R with respect to the axis A of rotation of the fan wheel 12.
- each second pad 40 has substantially the shape of two half-cylinders 42 joined by their cylindrical surfaces 42S. Like the second pad 40, each half-cylinder 42 extends parallel to the radial direction R. The two half-cylinders 42 thus extend in particular along parallel axes. Here, the axes along which the two half-cylinders 42 extend are perpendicular to the axis A of rotation of the fan wheel 12.
- the second pad 40 thus also has, in cross section, a minimum thickness substantially equidistant from the finger 34 and from the wall 362, 363 of the housing 36.
- this minimum thickness in section of the second pad 40 allows a certain flexibility of the stud 40, which can thus be deformed.
- the lateral ends 34L of the branches of the finger 34 are also covered by the second stud 40.
- the second stud 40 is thus kept in position on the finger. 34 partner.
- each pair of lugs is distributed over each of the inner and outer rings, around the common axis of the two inner and outer rings.
- this number of radial stops is not limiting.
- the engine support may in particular include two radial stops opposite relative to the center of the inner and outer rings, or three or more radial stops, preferably regularly distributed around the common axis of the inner and outer rings.
- the first decoupling means and the second decoupling means are independent.
- the first and second decoupling means can be formed by separate parts.
- the embodiment described above, in which the two decoupling means form one and the same part appears advantageous in that it facilitates the assembly of the motor support.
- the realization of the decoupling means in several parts makes it possible to use different materials for each of these decoupling means. This can in particular make it possible to choose a material better suited to each of these decoupling functions.
- the shape of the first and / or second studs may differ from the shapes described above, by way of example only.
- the shape of the first and / or second studs can in particular be chosen so as to ensure satisfactory mechanical strength of these studs, while allowing a certain decoupling between the inner and outer rings.
- the inner ring forms fingers received in housings formed in the outer ring.
- the reverse configuration can however be envisaged, according to which the outer ring has fingers oriented radially towards the inner ring and received in housings formed in this inner ring.
- Orthoradial stops can be provided, to limit or even prevent the relative rotation of the inner ring relative to the outer ring, around the axis of rotation of the fan wheel. These orthoradial stops can in particular be provided in the housings and cooperate with the finger which is received there. These orthoradial stops may be formed by pins attached to the ring forming the housings and extending into a housing, between the finger which is received therein, and the side walls of the housing. Other means can still be implemented to limit, or even prevent, the relative rotation of the rings around their common axis. Furthermore, instead of the second elastic pads, one or more axial stops can be provided to limit the axial movements of each finger in the associated housing.
- an axial stop may be provided on either side of each finger, in the direction of the common axis of the inner and outer rings.
- the axial stop (s) may / may project from the housing.
- Each axial stop may be formed by a pin attached to the ring forming the housing.
- the at least one axial stop may extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of elongation of the associated finger.
- Each axial stop may project into the housing. Resilient material can then be placed between the finger and each of the associated axial stops, in contact with the finger and the axial stop.
- the elastomeric material is then preferably compressed between the finger and each of the two axial stops, the elastomeric material for example still having a compression ratio greater than or equal to 5% and / or less than or equal to 15%, more preferably still substantially equal. at 10%.
- the motor support can include the same thickness of elastic material between the finger and each of the two axial stops.
- the elastic material can in particular be overmolded on two opposite faces of the finger.
- the elastic material can have a hardness between 25 and 50 shore.
- the elastic material in contact between the finger and each of the two stops may be integral with the elastic ring.
