• the bearing plate thus has a double function.
• the end plate is easy to produce, for example as a diecast part.
• the bearing plate obstructs the corresponding air inlet of the radial blower only slightly, since it positions the blower motor inside the fan wheel.
• the blower motor is designed as an electric motor and can be provided as an electrically commutated motor, which is also referred to as a brushless DC motor (BLDC) or EC motor.
• BLDC brushless DC motor
• the rotor of the fan motor can be designed as an internal rotor.
• the radial fan can be designed as a double-flow radial fan.
• the housing may be formed as a spiral housing, in particular doppelflutiges spiral housing.
• the extractor hood can be designed for use in the home, especially in kitchens above cooking zones. Accordingly, it is at the hood to a household appliance.

• the stator of the fan motor may be provided fastened to the second holder, in particular by means of screws.
• Axial, “radial”, “tangential” and “in the circumferential direction” in the present case always refers to a rotational axis of the shaft of the rotor of the fan motor defined by the first holder.
• the support arms in the axial direction to the other side it is meant that they extend with at least a portion thereof at an angle of ⁇ 45 °, preferably ⁇ 20 ° to the axial.

• resonances between stationary parts (in this case the bearing plate) and rotating parts (in this case the fan wheel) can be avoided.
• a pressure surge does not form periodically over the entire length of the support arm or the blade, but migrates along the support arm or the corresponding blade along. This leads to a significantly lower noise due to so-called "blade passing frequencies" and their harmonics.
• an axial portion of at least one support arm is tilted in the tangential direction with respect to an axial plane.
• An "axial plane” is to be understood as meaning a plane in which the axial or the bearing axis of rotation lies. Even by these measures resonances can be further avoided.
• the tilt of the axial portion in the tangential direction may be such that sucked air is guided in the rotational direction of the fan along the axial portion. This ensures that wired or circulating flows in the fan wheel are not pushed out of the fan wheel again when they hit a support arm of the endshield but are pressed into the fan wheel.
• fastening points for fastening the support arms to the housing in the circumferential direction at different distances from each other.
• resonances can be further reduced.
• the two attachment points of the bearing plate which have the greatest distance from each other in the circumferential direction, can span an air outlet of the housing. The fan is flowed through near the outlet at the strongest. Due to the large distance of the support arms in this area, the outlet is thus blocked as little as possible and influencing the flow is minimal.
• the attachment points may each have a mounting hole for a screw for flanging on the housing.
• exactly three support arms are provided. This represents a good compromise in terms of stability and obstruction of the air intake.
• an angle between a first and a second attachment point between 105 ° and 15 °, between the second and a third attachment point between 1 15 ° and 125 ° and between the third and first attachment point between 125 ° and 135 °.
