Definitions
- the invention relates to a fan system for a cooling system of a motor vehicle with at least two fans, each of which comprises an electric fan motor arranged in a separate housing and a fan wheel which can be driven thereby, and with a control unit for operating the fan motors.
- Such fan systems are known from the prior art. They are usually used to supply large-area coolers in a motor vehicle with the necessary cooling air, especially when an increased cooling capacity is required.
- the fans are usually arranged upstream or downstream of the cooler in order to generate the air flow through the cooler. Furthermore, the fans are controlled by one or two control units, which are arranged separately in the engine compartment.
- the invention has for its object to improve a fan system of the generic type in such a way that it is as simple and inexpensive as possible.
- control unit in the housing of one of the fans also makes it possible to simplify the number of lines, since only a supply line for feeding the fan system is to be connected to one fan and a supply line from this fan to the other fan.
- control unit can advantageously be integrated into the housing of one fan without its volume increasing appreciably, so that a considerable gain in space in the engine compartment of the motor vehicle can be achieved.
- control unit can advantageously be integrated into the housing of one fan without its volume increasing appreciably, so that a considerable gain in space in the engine compartment of the motor vehicle can be achieved.
- the fan system comprises a cable harness which can be connected to both fans and has a connector with a supply connection and an external connection.
- the cable harness can be connected to each of the fans via a plug connection.
- the wiring harness is preferably constructed in such a way that it has a connecting line with a feed line running between the fans.
- the connecting line also has a ground line in order advantageously to achieve the best possible ground connection between the control unit and the fan motor, which is not in the same housing as the control unit is arranged.
- the cable harness has a supply line with a feed line and an input line that runs from the fan provided with the control unit to the connecting plug connection.
- a particularly simple solution provides that the supply line and the connecting line form a coherent cable harness and thus both lines can be connected via a common plug connection to the fan provided with the control unit and via a further plug connection to the other fan, so that a total of such a cable harness
- the fan system according to the invention only has to have a total of three plug connections, namely the common connecting plug connection and in each case one plug connection for establishing the connection with each of the fans, wherein in the case of the fan provided with the control unit a connection to the control unit can be established at the same time.
- the control unit comprises a common output stage for the operation of all fan motors, so that all fan motors can be operated via the same output stage, preferably in parallel.
- An alternative solution of the fan system according to the invention therefore provides that the control unit for the operation of each of the fan motors has its own output stage, the output stages of the control unit corresponding to the number of fan motors also being arranged in the housing of one of the fans and the other fan of the for this intended output stage is supplied via the wiring harness and thus has no control electronics.
- An advantageous solution provides that the control unit is thermally coupled to a heat sink and the heat of the control unit can thus be dissipated via this heat sink.
- the heat is preferably generated in the output stage to the control unit, so that it is particularly advantageous if each output stage is thermally coupled to the heat sink.
- the cooling body itself could be cooled in a wide variety of ways.
- the heat sink is arranged on one of the fans, it is particularly advantageous if the heat sink is air-cooled.
- the heat sink is expediently provided with a cooling fin body in order to achieve the largest possible surface for heat transfer to the air flow.
- each of the output stages is coupled to its own cooling fin body, so that the heat of each of the output stages can be dissipated in a particularly efficient manner.
- the heat sink With regard to air cooling, it would be conceivable, for example, to arrange the heat sink so that it is arranged on an outside of the housing or protrudes from the housing and from which. Fan wheel generated and flowing through the cooler air flow and cooled.
- a particularly efficient cooling of the heat sink results, however, if the housing of the fan provided with the control unit is flowed through by an air flow that can be generated by the fan wheel and the air flow flows onto the heat sink.
- the control unit according to the invention can thus be cooled particularly efficiently.
- a particularly expedient cooling can be achieved in that the heat sink is arranged in the region of an air opening in the housing through which the air flow passes.
- the air opening is preferably located in a wall area of the housing which surrounds the control unit.
- control unit has a circuit board which extends in a plane running transversely to the axis of rotation of the fan motor.
- Such an arrangement of the circuit board in the housing of the fan has the great advantage that the control unit can be accommodated in a very space-saving manner.
- circuit board carries current leads for a commutator of the fan motor, so that no independent support arrangement for the current leads for the commutator has to take place, but these sit directly on the circuit board and are therefore also electrically connected to the circuit board in a simple manner can.
- Such power supplies can be designed in any way. It is particularly expedient if the current leads have carbon brush holders arranged on the circuit board and carbon brushes movable relative to them.
- the current leads are thermally coupled to the heat sink.
