Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a duct for a motorized fan, for application in particular to a heat exchanger for an internal combustion engine.
  • the invention relates to a duct comprising an essentially annular outer wall, defining internally an axial flow passage and which surrounds, in use, the rotor of the motorized fan; downstream of the motorized fan, the said wall is connected by means of a plurality of spokes to a central support structure to which the motor of the fan is fixed.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a duct of the aforesaid type which enables the electric motor of the fan to be efficiently cooled.
  • a duct of the type described above characterised in that at least one blade is shaped so as to define a conduit with a radially outer inlet aperture, operable to capture a portion of the air stream generated by the fan in operation, and a radially inner outlet aperture, opening to the region occupied by the motor of the motorized fan.
  • the invention also relates to a cooling device which includes a motorized fan and a duct having the characteristics defined above.
  • a cooling device is generally indicated 1, for application in particular to a heat exchanger, such as a radiator, of an internal combustion engine.
  • the cooling device 1 includes a motorized fan, generally indicated 2, and an associated duct, indicated 3.
  • the motorized fan 2 includes, in a manner known per se, a rotor 4 with a hub 5 having a plurality of blades 6 extending from the periphery thereof.
  • a rotor 4 with a hub 5 having a plurality of blades 6 extending from the periphery thereof.
  • the radially outer ends of the blades 6 of the rotor 4 are connected to an outer ring indicated 7.
  • the hub 5 of the rotor 4 is hollow and the associated electric drive motor 8 lies at least partially within it.
  • the shaft 9 of the electric motor 8 is operatively connected to the hub 5 of the rotor.
  • the duct 3 comprises an essentially annular outer wall 10 which defines internally an axial flow passage 11 and surrounds the rotor 4 of the motorized fan.
  • the wall 10 of the duct Downstream of the motorized fan 2, the wall 10 of the duct is connected by means of a plurality of spokes 12 to a central support structure 13 to which the housing of the electric motor 8 is fixed in a manner known per se.
  • each spoke 12 of the duct 3 is shaped so as to define a conduit 14 having a radially outer inlet aperture 15, acting to capture a portion of the air stream generated by the operation of the motorized fan 2.
  • the stream of air captured through the aperture 15 flows through the conduit 14 in the direction of a radially inner outlet aperture 16 directed towards the region occupied by the motor 8 of the motorized fan.
  • a spoke or each of the spokes 12, has a substantially tubular structure.
  • this spoke could simply have a channel-shape structure.
  • a chamber 17 is formed in the vicinity of the central support structure 13, into which the conduit 14 formed in one or each spoke 12 of the duct opens.
  • the outlet or discharge aperture 16 is most conveniently formed essentially in the wall of this chamber facing the electric motor 8.
  • the cooling of the motor 8 of the motorized fan can be further improved by the provision of a plurality of blades 18 (Figure 1) which extend from the inner surface of the hub of the rotor, generating in operation a stream which washes over the outer surface of the motor 8.
