Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cooling device for a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Cooling devices for motor vehicles with coolant-cooled internal combustion engines generally consist of a coolant radiator through which coolant and ambient air flow, a fan associated with the coolant radiator and a frame arranged between fan and radiator, also called radiator frame, fan cowl or fan cowl.
  • the latter has the task of supplying the cooling air leaving the coolant radiator as completely as possible to the fan.
  • the fan is generally designed as axial fan, shell fan (axial fan with shrouded blade tips) or as a radial fan.
  • the fan is driven by the internal combustion engine via a fluid friction clutch and is therefore firmly connected to the engine block, which is suspended elastically relative to the vehicle frame.
  • the coolant radiator is also attached to the vehicle frame.
  • the at least one movement compensating device or the at least one sealing element is arranged, fixed and / or sealed directly to the at least one coolant radiator.
  • the other end of the at least one motion compensation device connects to the radiator-side end of the at least one radiator or fan cowl.
  • the axial depth is shortened, improves the flow guidance on the at least one frame, ie the pressure loss is reduced and also the production costs are reduced.
  • an attachment point frame part opposite the radiator
  • the Camber depth fan cowl depth
  • the movement compensation element can be formed as a sleeve made of an elastomer, which is fastened or sealed on the one hand to the coolant radiator and on the other hand to the front side of the frame. This bridges the gap between the radiator and the frame.
  • an embodiment of the motion compensation element as an elastically deformable strip, which is also fastened on both sides. The relatively smooth design - compared to a concertina-like cuff - results in lower flow losses.
  • the motion compensation element only on one side, z. B. to attach to the frame; the other side abuts with an elastic bias on the circumference of the coolant radiator.
  • the sealing effect is maintained when relative movements occur because the sealing surface can follow the movements of the coolant radiator due to the elastic prestressing.
  • this solution eliminates the second attachment, which is replaced by a sliding seal.
  • the fan can advantageously be designed as an axial fan, preferably as a shell fan, which is also equipped with an inlet nozzle.
  • the entire frame including Zargenring and inlet nozzle can be made in one piece, in particular as a plastic injection molded part.
  • the advantage here are the low production costs and the significantly improved flow conditions due to the smooth wall of the frame, which is not interrupted by a gap.
  • the dimension for the radial gap is less than 9 mm, preferably less than 6 mm, wherein the lower limit is preferably above 3.5 mm.
  • These gaps in the area from 3.5 to 9 mm apply to fan outer diameter in the range of 400 to 900 mm, preferably in the range of 500 to 800 mm, wherein there is no fixed ratio of radial gap to fan outer diameter.
  • Fig. 1 shows a partially illustrated cooling device 1, which consists of a coolant radiator 2, a jacket fan 3 and a frame 4.
  • the coolant radiator is connected to a coolant circuit, not shown, of an internal combustion engine and on the one hand by the coolant and on the other hand by ambient air in the direction of the arrow L flows through.
  • the jacket fan 3 has an axial blading 3a and a jacket 3b connected to the blading 3a.
  • the frame 4 is connected via a motion compensation element 5 with the circumference of the radiator 2 and sealed, so that from the coolant radiator 2 exiting air channeled through the frame 4 and the fan 3 is supplied.
  • the frame 4 has a Zargenring 4a, which surrounds the rotating fan casing 3b, and an inlet nozzle 4b, in which the frontal, protruding part of the shell 3b protrudes.
  • the frame 4 including the frame ring 4a and inlet nozzle 4b is integrally formed as a plastic tip part.
  • the fan 3 is - which is not shown - compared to an engine block of an internal combustion engine, not shown Motor vehicle stored and is driven by the internal combustion engine.
  • the frame 4 with Zargenring 4a and inlet nozzle 4b is - which is also not shown - motor-mounted, so that there is a minimum radial gap 6 between the casing 3b and the ring frame 4a.
  • the coolant radiator 2 is - as known from the prior art - compared to the vehicle frame (body), not shown supported. This results in the known relative movements between frame 4 and coolant radiator 2, which are compensated by the motion compensation element 5 shown here only schematically.
  • the movement compensation element 5 is arranged directly on the radiator 2 and on the radiator-side front end of the frame 4. Embodiments of the motion compensation element 5 are shown as a detail X in Figures 3, 4, 5.
  • Fig. 2 shows a further cooling device 7 with a coolant radiator 2 (as in Fig. 1), a frame 8 with Zargenring 8a and an axial fan 9 (here without jacket), which rotates in the Zargenring 8a leaving a small radial gap 10.
  • the axial fan 9 and the frame 8 are arranged fixed to the motor, so that also relative movements occur, which are compensated via the arranged on the radiator 2 compensation element 5 (analogous to FIG. 1).
  • the minimum radial gaps 6, 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 lie in a range between 3.5 and 9 mm, preferably in a range between 4 and 8.5 mm.
  • the radial gap results from half the difference between the outer diameter of the fan and the inner ring diameter of the inner ring.
  • the radial gap is the extent to which the fan 3 or 9 is displaced before it touches the frame 4a or 8a.
  • the specified ranges for the gap size apply to fan diameters in the range of 400 to 900 mm, which the Applicant has determined by measurements. There is no fixed ratio between radial gap and fan diameter, but constant gap dimensions were measured for a larger diameter range. These are therefore absolute gap dimensions that are not or at least in a larger area not dependent on the fan diameter.
  • Fig. 3 shows a first embodiment of the motion compensation element 5 according to FIGS. 1 and 2, which is provided here with the reference numeral 11.
  • the movement compensation element 11 is formed as a concertina-like cuff, preferably made of an elastomer and has two end faces 11a, 11b which are fastened on the one hand to the circumference 2b of the coolant cooler 2 and on the other hand to the end face 4a of the frame 4.
  • the type of attachment of the sleeve 11 to the frame 4, 4a and the radiator 2 are not shown in detail, they correspond to the known prior art.
  • the movement compensation element 5 which is designed as a slightly curved sealing strip 13 with two end attachment edges 13a, 13b.
  • the preferably made of an elastomer strip 13 is also connected to the front side 4a of the frame 4 and the circumference 2b of the radiator 2.
  • the gap 12 between coolant radiator 2 and end face 4 a of the frame 4 is thus bridged and sealed. Due to the flexible design of the strip element 13 relative movements are possible.
  • the sleeve 11 is here a smooth transition between the radiator 2 and frame 4, ie without significant disturbance of the voltage applied to the frame flow.
  • Fig. 5 shows a further embodiment of the movement compensation element 5, namely a prestressed, sliding seal 14, which has a fastening edge 14a on the frame side and a sealing area 14b on the radiator side, which rests under prestress on the circumference 2b of the radiator 2 and thus effects a seal.
  • the attachment edge 14a is firmly connected to the frame 4, so that a clamping of the elastic seal 14 is given. Therefore, the sealing region 14b, which may be formed, for example, as a brush seal, is constantly on the circumference 2b of the radiator 2. If relative movements between radiator 2 and frame 4 occur, follows the sealing region 14b due to its bias to the circumference 2b of the radiator second
