Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a holding device for holding an electric fan, in particular Mini fan, on a mounting wall.
  • Fan or its fan housing which in connection with of the present invention have at least two, but usually four through mounting holes with a course parallel to the fan axis.
  • the fan housing has - in an axial view seen - a rectangular or square contour, being A continuous mounting hole is arranged in each corner area is.
  • mounting brackets it is known to use mounting brackets to use.
  • One angle leg each attached to the fan by screws while the other Angle legs on the mounting wall usually also is screwed tight.
  • For screw fastening on the fan side insert nuts or so-called sheet metal nuts arranged in which the fastening screws intervention.
  • U-shaped bracket has two Legs each with an internal thread (nut) Screw opening.
  • This fastener can only be used for fans whose housing at least two spaced apart in the area of the mounting holes Have flanges with each mounting hole practical consists of two aligned partial holes in the flanges.
  • the U-shaped bracket is thus between the flanges used that in the area of each partial hole one of the two screw holes is arranged.
  • the bracket is so resilient that it jams between the flanges is held.
  • the present invention has for its object a To create a holding device with which the mounting bracket of a fan is significantly simplified.
  • a Holding device reached, consisting of at least one, in essentially flat, one-sided fan system level defining holding part, the holding part at least an approximately perpendicular to the investment plane of the Holding part protruding and to the bracket connection force and / or can be positively inserted into a mounting hole in the fan Plug-in element and at least one pin-like, in an orientation approximately perpendicular to the plug element protruding from the holding part, for attachment by a Has hole of the mounting wall feasible fastener.
  • the invention thus advantageously eliminates any Screw connection, because the holding part according to the invention needs with its plug-in element only in the respective Mounting hole to be inserted.
  • the plug element By a suitable design of the plug element a good force and / or positive connection for sufficient mounting can be achieved.
  • the Plug element has barb-like, elastic holding tongues, that when inserted in the hole wall of the mounting hole claw that a subsequent pulling out is almost impossible.
  • a good and safe claw is mainly used in plastic Fan housings reached, but the invention is suitable basically also for metal housings. In both cases but it is advantageous if the holding part according to the invention itself made of metal, preferably sheet metal.
  • the pin or (flat) plug-like fastening element For mounting on or on the mounting wall only needs the pin or (flat) plug-like fastening element passed through a hole in the mounting wall and then on suitable way to be fixed.
  • This fixation can in simplest case due to plastic deformation, e.g. by bending and / or entangling the fastener on the opposite side of the fan Assembly wall done. This is a positive Attachment reached. It is also possible to use the fastener to connect with the assembly wall, especially to solder or glue.
  • the holding device from two - in particular identical - Holding parts, which are arranged in certain areas of the fan housing on its two faces attached via preferably two plug elements will.
  • Each points to the mounting on the mounting wall Holding element preferably also two fasteners on. There are thus a total of four fastening elements present in corresponding holes in the mounting wall are insertable. This execution leads to a very secure and firm bracket.
  • the Holding parts - in addition to their mechanical holding function - advantageously at the same time for electrical Connection of the fan.
  • the two holding parts consist of an electrically conductive material, especially sheet metal, while the fan housing is off an electrically insulating material (plastic), a short circuit between the live Exclude holding parts.
  • the electrical connection is made preferably directly to a mounting wall Acting circuit board by the inserted fasteners of the holding parts with corresponding conductor tracks to be soldered. This can easily be done in one Solder bath, if necessary together with the soldering further electronic components. The fan then needs only to be electrically connected with the holding parts.
  • each holding part preferably has at least one electrical connection element on which a supply conductor (Connecting wire) of the fan can be connected.
  • This Embodiment also simplifies the electrical connection of the fan considerably.
  • the supply managers can already after attaching the two holding parts to their connecting elements be connected.
  • Below is at the mechanical connection of the holding parts to the circuit board at the same time - in just one operation - even that electrical connection made. this leads to a serious simplification of the assembly of the fan, i.e. the mechanical bracket and the electrical connection.
  • the fan forms together with the invention Holding parts a pre-assembled unit, which - analog to other (electronic) components - to populate the PCB can be handled very easily.
  • Fig. 1 is to be attached of a fan 1 on a mounting wall 2 according to the invention Holding device 4 is provided.
  • the fan 1 is shown greatly enlarged in Fig. 1, it is especially a small fan, whose fan housing 6 for example a square contour with an edge length of approx. 40 x 40 mm.
  • the invention is by no means limited to this. It can also - as shown - around an axial fan, but alternatively also act as a radial fan.
  • the holding device 4 consists of two advantageously identical holding parts 10.Each holding part 10 is essentially flat and defines one-sided with a part of its surface a fan system level 12.
  • the holding part 10 preferably has in this area two projecting approximately perpendicular to the contact plane 12 Plug-in elements 14, the force and / or to the bracket connection positively in each one mounting hole 16 of the Fan 1 or the fan housing 6 can be inserted.
  • Each Mounting hole 16 extends parallel to the fan axis 18, which also applies accordingly to the plug elements 14. Consequently, the holding parts 10 are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the fan axis 18 and to the mounting wall 2 Levels. 2, 4 and 4a extend the Plug elements 14 of the two holding parts 10 each from opposite End faces of the fan 1 in the mounting holes 16.
  • Each holding part 10 also preferably has two pin-like, in an approximately perpendicular to the plug elements 14 Alignment and pointing away from the holding part 10 protruding, for attachment through a hole 20 each Mounting wall 2 feasible fasteners 22.
  • the fan 1 About the holding device 4 according to the invention
  • Mounting wall 2 attachable that its fan axis 18th runs parallel to the plane of the mounting wall 2.
  • each holding part 10 preferably as a one-piece stamped and bent part made of sheet metal.
  • the holding part 10 preferably has one elongated, essentially rectangular surface shape, wherein the plug elements 14 on one upper longitudinal edge 24 and the fasteners on the other, lower longitudinal edge 26 and here in particular on the narrow sides 28 adjacent corner areas are arranged.
  • the plug elements 14 on one upper longitudinal edge 24 and the fasteners on the other, lower longitudinal edge 26 and here in particular on the narrow sides 28 adjacent corner areas are arranged.
  • this shows Holding part 10 on its lower longitudinal edge 26 at least one, but preferably two each adjacent to the fasteners 22 arranged support elements 32.
  • This Support elements 32 arrive after the fastening elements have been inserted 22 in the holes 20 of the mounting wall 2 to rest on the mounting wall 2; thus they form practically support feet (see Fig. 1).
  • each plug element 14 has two elastic, barb-like retaining tongues 34, which are after insertion of the plug element 14 in the respective mounting hole 16 of the fan 1 in the hole wall of the mounting hole 16 claw.
  • each plug-in element is U-shaped Cross section with an upper U-web wall 36 and formed two side U-leg walls 38, wherein the retaining tongues 34 from the two leg walls 38 punched out and diagonally outwards and back towards the investment level 12 are curved.
