Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kühlvorrichtung für ein Kraftfahrzeug mit einer Brennkraftmaschine.The invention relates to a cooling device for a motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine.
Kühlvorrichtungen für Kraftfahrzeuge dienen primär der Kehlung der Brennkraftmaschine, optional jedoch auch der Kühlung eines Käitemittetkreistaufes für eine Klimaanlage. Die Kühlvorrichtung umfasst daher im Allgemeinen mehrere Wärmeübertrager, z. B. einen Kühlmittelkühler, einen Ladeluftkühler, einen Ölkühler sowie einen Kondensator zur Kühlung des Kältemlttels der Klimaanlage. Der Kühlvorrichtung ist ferner ein Lüfter, vorzugsweise ein Axiallüfter mit einer Lüfterhaube zugeordnet. Bei größeren Fahrzeugen wird der Lüfter direkt von der Brennkraftmaschine über die Kurbelwelle oder einen Riementrieb angetrieben und ist somit motorfest angeordnet. Die Wärmeübertrager, insbesondere der Kühlmittelkühler dagegen sind fahrzeugfest angeordnet, ebenso die mit dem oder den Wärmeübertragern verbundene Lüfterhaube. Die dadurch entstehenden Relativbewegungen zwischen Kühler bzw. Lüfterhaube einerseits und Lüfter andererseits werden durch ein Bewegungsausgleichselement, auch kurz Ausgleichselement genannt, kompensiert, wobei das Ausgleichselement gleichzeitig eine Dichtfunktion ausübt.Cooling devices for motor vehicles primarily serve the cooling of the internal combustion engine, but optionally also the cooling of a Kitäitemittetkreistaufes for an air conditioner. The cooling device therefore generally comprises a plurality of heat exchangers, for. B. a coolant radiator, a charge air cooler, an oil cooler and a condenser for cooling the Kältemlttels the air conditioner. The cooling device is further associated with a fan, preferably an axial fan with a fan cover. For larger vehicles, the fan is driven directly by the engine via the crankshaft or a belt drive and is thus arranged fixed to the engine. By contrast, the heat exchangers, in particular the coolant coolers, are arranged fixed to the vehicle, as is the fan cover connected to the heat exchanger (s). The resulting relative movements between the radiator or fan cowling on the one hand and the fan on the other hand are compensated by a motion compensation element, also called compensating element for short, wherein the compensating element simultaneously performs a sealing function.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik, ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Kühlvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend zu verbessern, dass ein strömungsgünstiger Anschluss des Leitringes an die Lüfterhaube geschaffen und eine möglichst gedrungene axiale Bauweise sowie eine hohe Luftförderleistung erreicht werden.Based on this prior art, it is an object of the invention to improve a cooling device of the type mentioned in that a streamlined connection of the guide ring to the fan cover created and a squat as possible axial design and high air flow capacity can be achieved.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.The object of the invention is solved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments emerge from the subclaims.
Erfindungsgemäß ist zwischen dem Leitring und der Lüfterhaube mindestens ein Bewegungsausgleichselement vorgesehen, welches die relativ zueinander beweglichen Teile, nämlich einerseits den motorfesten Leitring und andererseits die fahrzeugfeste Lüfterhaube gegeneinander abdichtet, sodass die gesamte, den Wärmeübertrager durchsetzende Luft dem Lüfter zugeführt wird. Damit werden Leckverluste aufgrund der Relativbewegungen vermieden. Durch die Anordnung des Ausgleichselementes am stromabwärtigen Ende der Lüfterhaube kann diese strömungsgünstig, d. h. ohne Unterbrechungen ausgeführt werden - dadurch werden der Druckabfall der Luftströmung in der Lüfterhaube reduziert und die Lüfterleistung erhöht. Darüber hinaus werden die mit dem bekannten Lüfter (Mantelring und vorgeschalteter Leitring) verbundenen Vorteile, insbesondere dessen verkürzte axiale Bauweise beibehalten.According to the invention, at least one motion compensation element is provided between the guide ring and the fan cover, which seals the relatively movable parts, namely on the one hand the motor-fixed guide ring and on the other hand, the vehicle-fixed fan cover against each other, so that the entire, the heat exchanger enforcing air is supplied to the fan. This prevents leakage due to the relative movements. Due to the arrangement of the compensating element at the downstream end of the fan cowl, this can be streamlined, d. H. run without interruptions - this reduces the pressure drop of the air flow in the fan guard and increases the fan power. In addition, the benefits associated with the known fan (shroud ring and upstream guide ring), in particular its shortened axial design are maintained.
Der Leitring ist im Querschnitt etwa C-förmig ausgebildet, wobei der radial innen liegende C-Schenkel den Leitring und den mehr radial außen liegende Schenkel einen Befestigungsabschnitt bilden. An den Befestigungsabschnitt kann das Ausgleichselement auf verschiedene Art befestigt werden, z. B, durch Klemmen, durch eine Schnappverbindung oder durch ein Spannband.The guide ring is formed in cross-section approximately C-shaped, wherein the radially inner C-legs form the guide ring and the more radially outer legs a mounting portion. At the attachment portion, the compensation element can be attached in various ways, for. B, by clamping, by a snap connection or by a strap.
Der Leitring weist im Bereich eines 180°-Umlenkspaltes axial verlaufende, radial abragende Leitflächen auf, welche eine axiale Ausrichtung der drallbehafteten Rezirkulationsströmung bewirken. Damit wird der Vorteil erreicht, dass die in die Hauptströmung des Lüfters eintretende Rezirkulationsströmung weitestgehend drallfrei ist. Damit werden Strömungsverluste und Geräusche reduziert.The guide ring has, in the region of a 180 ° deflection gap, axially extending, radially projecting guide surfaces, which effect an axial alignment of the swirling recirculation flow. This achieves the advantage that the recirculation flow entering the main flow of the fan is largely free of twist. This reduces flow losses and noise.
Gemäß vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungen kann das Ausgleichselement entweder am Leitring oder an der Lüfterhaube befestigt sein - es liegt dann entweder an der Lüfterhaube oder dem Leitring dichtend an. In einem Falle ist also eine Befestigungsfunktion am Leitring und eine Dichtfunktion an der Lüfterhaube vorzusehen, während im anderen Falle eine Befestigungsfunktion an der Lüfterhaube und eine Dichtfunktion am Leitring darzustellen sind. Beide Varianten können ihre Vorteile haben.According to advantageous embodiments, the compensation element can be fastened either on the guide ring or on the fan cover - it then rests sealingly on either the fan cover or the guide ring. In one case, therefore, a fastening function on the guide ring and a sealing function on the fan guard are provided, while in the other case a fastening function on the fan guard and a sealing function on the guide ring are to be represented. Both variants can have their advantages.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung weist die Lüfterhaube auf ihrer Rückwand eine ringförmige Dichtfläche auf, an welcher das Ausgleichselement anliegt und eine Dichtfunktion ausübt. Die Dichtfläche ist vorzugsweise als Planfläche ausgebildet, wodurch sich ebenfalls eine kurze axiale Bauweise ergibt.According to an advantageous embodiment, the fan cover on its rear wall on an annular sealing surface on which rests the compensating element and exerts a sealing function. The sealing surface is preferably formed as a flat surface, which also results in a short axial construction.
In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung weist das Ausgleichselement eine ringförmige Dichtlippe auf, welche an der ringförmigen Dichtfläche mit einer elastischen Eigenspannung anliegt. Letztere ergibt sich daraus, dass die Dichtlippe beim Einbau elastisch verformt wird.In a further advantageous embodiment, the compensation element has an annular sealing lip, which bears against the annular sealing surface with an elastic residual stress. The latter results from the fact that the sealing lip is elastically deformed during installation.
In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass der Lesung einschließlich seines Befestigungsabschnittes im Wesentlichen bündig zur Lufteintrittsebene des Lüfters angeordnet ist. Damit wird der Vorteil einer kurzen axialen Bauweise erreicht, wobei das Ausgleichselement unmittelbar und ohne wesentliche Vergrößerung der axialen Bautiefe an den Leitring anschließt. Es wird damit ein strömungsgünstiger, verlustarmer Übergang von der Lüfterhaube in den Leitring bzw. in den Lüfter geschaffen.In a further advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the reading, including its attachment portion is arranged substantially flush with the air inlet level of the fan. Thus, the advantage of a short axial construction is achieved, wherein the compensation element connects directly and without significant increase in the axial depth of the guide ring. It is thus created a streamlined, low-loss transition from the fan guard in the guide ring or in the fan.
Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist der Leitring als Einlaufdüse ausgebildet, in welche der vordere, in Strömungsrichtung zurückgesetzte Bereich des Mantelringes hineinragt. Damit wird eine weitere Stabilisierung der Luftströmung im Blattspitzenbereich erreicht.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the guide ring is formed as an inlet nozzle, in which the front, in the flow direction recessed portion of the shroud protrudes. This achieves a further stabilization of the air flow in the blade tip region.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung kann der Leitring über Streben, welche vorzugsweise am Befestigungsabschnitt des Leitringes angreifen, gegenüber dem Motorblock der Brennkraftmaschine abgestützt werden. Durch die motorfeste Anordnung des Leitringes und des Lüfters können ein minimaler Spalt und damit eine erhöhte Lüfterleistung realisiert werden.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the guide ring on struts, which preferably engage the attachment portion of the guide ring, are supported relative to the engine block of the internal combustion engine. Due to the motor-fixed arrangement of the guide ring and the fan, a minimal gap and thus increased fan power can be realized.
In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist dem Axiallüfter ein Nachleitapparat nachgeschaltet, der vorzugsweise in die Streben zur Halterung des Leitringes integriert ist. Ein derartiger Nachleitapparat ist in der

Zwischen dem Leitring 7 und der Lüfterhaube 3 ist erfindungsgemäß ein Bewegungsausgleichselement 8, im Folgenden kurz Ausgleichselement genannt, angeordnet, welches die Relativbewegungen zwischen Lüfterhaube 3 und Leitring 7 ausgleicht und gleichzeitig eine Abdichtung bewirkt. Der Leitring 7, welcher auf hier nicht dargestellte Weise mit der Brennkraftmaschine verbunden ist (motorfeste Anordnung), ist im Querschnitt etwa C-förmig ausgebildet und weist einen radial außerhalb des Mantelringes 6 angeordneten Befestigungsabschnitt 7a auf, in welchen ein Ende des Ausgleichselementes 8 eingeklemmt und damit gehalten ist. Das andere Ende des Ausgleichselementes 8 ist als Dichtlippe 8a ausgebildet, welche an der Lüfterhaube 3 anliegt. Letztere weist eine Luftdurchtrittsöffnung 3a auf, welche von einer kreisringförmigen Dichtfläche 3b umfasst ist, an welcher die Dichtlippe 8a anliegt und somit - bei Auftreten von Relativbewegungen - in radialer Richtung gleiten kann. Ebenso sind Relativbewegungen in Axialrichtung möglich, ohne dass die elastisch anliegende Dichtlippe 8a von der Dichtfläche 3b abhebt. Durch diese Anordnung des Ausgleichselementes 8 ergibt sich ein strömungsgünstiger Übergang von der Innenseite der Lüfterhaube 3 in den Leitring 7 und damit in den Lüfter 4. Darüber hinaus wird eine axial gedrungene Bauweise erreicht.Between the
Die oben beschriebenen Ausführungsformen der Leitringe 7, 9, 11, 13 sind jeweils durch einen C-förmig ausgebildeten Querschnitt gekennzeichnet, in welchen der stromaufwärts gelegene Teil des Mantelringes 6 hineinragt, sodass sich der aus dem eingangs genannten Stand der Technik bekannte Effekt einer Einlaufdüse ergibt. Ein Nebenluftstrom wird von außen angesaugt, um 180° umgelenkt und dem Blattspitzenbereich zugeführt. Damit ergibt sich eine weitere Stabilisierung der Lüfterströmung. Durch eine entsprechende Gestaltung und aerodynamische Verfeinerung kann der Effekt der Einlaufdüse verstärkt werden.The above-described embodiments of the guide rings 7, 9, 11, 13 are each characterized by a C-shaped cross section, in which the upstream part of the
