Definitions
- the invention relates to protective grilles as protection against accidental contact for the suction side of fans, for example radial fans or diagonal fans, the protective grilles having a planar grating web structure formed from radial webs spaced in the circumferential direction and coaxial circumferential webs spaced in the radial direction.
- a protective grille is out WO 03/054395 A1 known.
- the document WO 2015/1247237 A1 also shows a protective grille.
- This document falls under Art. 54 (3) EPC and is therefore of no importance for the question of inventive step.
- Plastic or metal with relatively thick walls is usually used as the material in order to ensure sufficient stability.
- the disadvantage here is that when the air is sucked in through the protective grille, the overall static efficiency of the fan with the protective grille arranged thereon deteriorates and the sound power increases significantly, in particular at higher volume flows.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a protective grille for fans which, when attached to fans, ensures improved overall static efficiency and reduced sound power compared to conventional protective grilles.
- an at least partially three-dimensionally curved protective grille with fastening means for arrangement on a fan is proposed, the axial central region of which, however, is further spaced apart from the fan and thus the fan wheel due to the at least partially convex shape.
- the protective grid has a grid web structure which comprises radial webs which are spaced apart in the circumferential direction and coaxial circumferential webs which are spaced apart in the radial direction, the protective grid having at least one radial outer region and a central region around a central axis of the protective grid, an enveloping surface spanned by the radial outer region and the central region in the radial direction Outside area is convexly curved and flat in the central area, in particular parallel to a radial plane of the protective grille.
- the curved shape of the protective grille which is produced by the radial outer region provided with a convex envelope surface, increases its strength and stability and makes it possible to make the radial webs and peripheral webs thinner in cross-section. This reduces the flow area of the webs, the flow resistance generated by the webs and the eddy formation caused by the webs, which in turn leads to noise formation.
- the radial webs and / or the circumferential webs have a rectangular cross section with a height H and a wall thickness B, the ratio of which to H / W ⁇ 3, in particular H / W ⁇ 3.5, more preferably H / W ⁇ 4 is set.
- the side of the radial and circumferential webs which determines the wall thickness B points in one direction or counter to the flow direction, which in the central region is at least essentially in an axial direction corresponds to the protective grille.
- the protective grid is preferably rotationally symmetrical.
- the central region directly adjoins the radial outer region in the radial direction, the convexly curved envelope surface of the radial outer region flowing smoothly into the flat central region.
- This uninterrupted design of the protective grille along its envelope surface also favors strength and stability and promotes the possibility of making the radial and circumferential webs thinner as previously described.
- an intermediate area can be provided between the radial axial area and the central area, the envelope surface of which has a smaller convex curvature than the radial outer area, but is not designed to be flat.
- the circumferential webs arranged in the radial direction at a radial distance r from the axial center of the protective grille each have a varying angular position with respect to an axial plane of the protective grille.
- the angular position of the circumferential webs increases in the radially outward direction of the protective grille.
- the angle is measured between an extent of the circumferential webs along their height direction (height H) and the axial plane of the protective grille.
- the increasing angle of the circumferential webs from the central area in the direction of the radial outer area also contributes to noise reduction and an improved efficiency of the connected fan.
- the radial webs each have a curved shape in an axial cross section and extend in an arc shape with an arcuate belly pointing to the axial center line of the protective grid.
- the convexly curved envelope surface in the radial outer region determines a partially elliptical contour in a lateral cross section and is characterized in that the ratio of the radial length a of the outer region to the radius c of the protective grid is fixed at a / c> 0.25 . This results in a radial extension of the radial outer region of at least 25% of the total radius of the protective grille.
- a ratio of the axial height b of the protective grille to the radius c of the protective grille is fixed at b / c> 0.02. It is further preferred that the ratio of the axial height b of the protective grille to the radius c of the protective grille is in a range of 0.025 b b / c 1 1, so that a sufficient axial distance to the connected fan or its fan wheel is ensured and at the same time optimized protective grille is provided in terms of noise and efficiency.
- the radial webs extend radially or axially beyond the outermost of the circumferential webs and form an outer edge of the protective grille which is thereby designed to be open to flow. Since the protective grille in the outermost radial outer region extends almost exclusively in the axial direction, the main part lies in an axial extension of the radial webs over the radially outermost circumferential web.
- the fastening means are integrally formed on the protective grille on the radial outer edge of the protective grille in order to enable connection to the fan via the fastening elements customary in the prior art.
- the protective grille is designed in such a way that the number of radial webs in the radial outer region is higher than in the central region in order to make the flow resistance in the central region as low as possible. Due to the overall curved shape of the protective grille and the associated increased axial distance of the central area from the connected fan or fan wheel, the mesh width of the grating web structure can be increased there. According to the invention, this is done by reducing the number of radial webs provided in the central area, i.e. their number decreases in the direction of an axial center of the protective grille.
- the invention further comprises the unit formed from a fan with a protective grille as described above, the efficiency of which is improved and the sound power reduced.
- FIG. 1 An embodiment of a rotationally symmetrical protective grille 1 is shown in a perspective view.
- the protective grid 1 has a grid web structure, formed from intersecting radial webs 2 running at a distance in the circumferential direction and coaxial circumferential webs 3 running at a distance in the radial direction.
- the radial webs 2 extend radially and axially beyond the outermost circumferential web 3 and form a radial one running in the circumferential direction Outer edge.
- four fastening webs 4 are formed in one piece in the circumferential direction, each spaced apart by 90 degrees.
- the fastening webs 4 are themselves partially formed from radial webs 2.
- FIG 2 shows the protective grille 1 Figure 1 in a side view.
- the protective grille 1 has a circumferential radial outer region A and a central region Z around the central axis M.
- An envelope surface spanned by the radial outer region A and the central region Z is convexly curved in the radial outer region A and flat and flat in the central region Z, so that the central region Z extends parallel to a radial plane X of the protective grille 1.
- the central region Z directly adjoins the radial outer region A in the radial inward direction. The transition is fluid.
- the number of radial webs 2 is higher than in the central region Z. This is achieved in that the radial webs 2 extend to different lengths in the radial inward direction and partially no longer reach the radially inner circumferential webs 2. This increases the clear mesh size within the lattice web structure in the central area Z, which at the same time reduces the flow resistance.
- the plurality of circumferential webs 3 is arranged in the radial direction of the protective grille 1 at a radial distance r from the axial center of the protective grille 1.
- An example is in Figure 2 a distance r of the fifth of seven circumferential webs 3 starting from the axial central axis M marked. The distance of the radially outermost circumferential web 3 is marked with R.
- the convexly curved envelope surface of the protective grille 1 can be specified in more detail.
- the convexly curved envelope surface defines, in a lateral cross section, a partially elliptical contour 5, the ratio of the radial length a of the radial outer region A to the radius c of the protective grille 1 in the embodiment shown assumes an exemplary value of approximately 0.55.
- an exemplary value of 0.35 is defined in the embodiment shown.
- Figure 5 shows an example of an alternative embodiment of a partially elliptical contour 5 of the envelope surface with a stronger convex curvature of the radial outer region A and ratios a / c of over 0.6 and b / c of over 0.4.
- Figure 3 shows a side sectional view of the protective grille Figure 1 with a section through a radial web 2.
- the angular position of the circumferential webs 3 can be clearly seen.
- the thin-walled design of the radial webs 2 and circumferential webs 3 is shown, the wall thickness B and height H being identified using radial webs 2. However, this can be applied accordingly to the circumferential webs 3.
- both the radial webs 2 and the circumferential webs 3 are rectangular.
- the ratio of wall thickness B to height H is 5 in the embodiment shown.
- the thin-walled design of the webs 2, 3 is due to the shape of the protective grille 1 enables.
- the Figures 6 and 7 show diagrams of characteristic curve comparisons of the overall static efficiency ( Fig. 6 ) and the sound power ( Fig. 7 ) at different volume flows through the protective grille 1 Fig. 1 and through conventional flat guards.
- the characteristic curves of the protective grille 1 according to the invention are identified by 100, those of the conventional protective grille by 200.
- the fan used is always the same.
- the overall static efficiency of the protective grille 1 according to the invention continues to rise sharply at a volume flow of 400 m 3 / h and thereby produces a difference of over 2% which is maintained up to the maximum volume flow.
- the difference in sound power is also evident from a volume flow of 400 m 3 / h, the protective grille 1 according to the invention being quieter than conventional protective grilles at the maximum volume flow by more than 4 dBA.
- the values measured for the protective grille 1 according to the invention are on a level with values of fan operation without any protective grille.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft Schutzgitter als Berührschutz für die Saugseite von Ventilatoren, beispielsweise Radialventilatoren oder Diagonalventilatoren, wobei die Schutzgitter eine ebene Gitterstegstruktur gebildet aus in Umfangsrichtung beabstandeten Radialstegen und in radialer Richtung beabstandeten koaxialen Umfangsstegen aufweisen. Ein solches Schutzgitter ist aus
Dabei ist nachteilig, dass sich bei der Ansaugung der Luft durch das Schutzgitter der statische Gesamtwirkungsgrad des Ventilators mit daran angeordnetem Schutzgitter verschlechtert und die Schallleistung insbesondere bei höheren Volumenströmen deutlich erhöht.The disadvantage here is that when the air is sucked in through the protective grille, the overall static efficiency of the fan with the protective grille arranged thereon deteriorates and the sound power increases significantly, in particular at higher volume flows.
Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Schutzgitter für Ventilatoren bereit zu stellen, das an Ventilatoren befestigt gegenüber herkömmlichen Schutzgittern einen verbesserten statischen Gesamtwirkungsgrad sowie eine reduzierte Schallleistung gewährleistet.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a protective grille for fans which, when attached to fans, ensures improved overall static efficiency and reduced sound power compared to conventional protective grilles.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Schutzgitter mit der Merkmalskombination gemäß Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a protective grille with the combination of features according to
Dabei wird erfindungsgemäß ein zumindest abschnittsweise dreidimensional in axialer Richtung gekrümmtes Schutzgitter mit Befestigungsmitteln zur Anordnung an einem Ventilator vorgeschlagen, dessen axialer Zentralbereich jedoch durch die zumindest abschnittsweise konvexe Form weiter von dem Ventilator und somit dem Ventilatorrad beabstandet ist. Das Schutzgitter weist eine Gitterstegstruktur auf, die in Umfangsrichtung beabstandete Radialstege und in radialer Richtung beabstandete koaxiale Umfangsstege umfasst, wobei das Schutzgitter zumindest einen radialen Außenbereich und einen Zentralbereich um eine Mittelachse des Schutzgitters aufweist, eine von dem radialen Außenbereich und dem Zentralbereich aufgespannte Hüllfläche im radialen Außenbereich konvex gekrümmt und im Zentralbereich flach, insbesondere parallel zu einer Radialebene des Schutzgitters ausgebildet ist.According to the invention, an at least partially three-dimensionally curved protective grille with fastening means for arrangement on a fan is proposed, the axial central region of which, however, is further spaced apart from the fan and thus the fan wheel due to the at least partially convex shape. The protective grid has a grid web structure which comprises radial webs which are spaced apart in the circumferential direction and coaxial circumferential webs which are spaced apart in the radial direction, the protective grid having at least one radial outer region and a central region around a central axis of the protective grid, an enveloping surface spanned by the radial outer region and the central region in the radial direction Outside area is convexly curved and flat in the central area, in particular parallel to a radial plane of the protective grille.
Die durch den mit einer konvexen Hüllfläche versehenen radialen Außenbereich erzeugte gewölbte Form des Schutzgitters erhöht dessen Festigkeit und Stabilität und ermöglicht es, die Radialstege und Umfangsstege im Querschnitt dünnwandiger auszubilden. Hierdurch reduzieren sich die Anströmfläche der Stege, der durch die Stege erzeugte Strömungswiderstand und die durch die Stege bedingte Wirbelbildung, die wiederum zu Geräuschbildung führt.The curved shape of the protective grille, which is produced by the radial outer region provided with a convex envelope surface, increases its strength and stability and makes it possible to make the radial webs and peripheral webs thinner in cross-section. This reduces the flow area of the webs, the flow resistance generated by the webs and the eddy formation caused by the webs, which in turn leads to noise formation.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung weisen die Radialstege und/oder die Umfangsstege einen rechteckigen Querschnitt mit einer Höhe H und einer Wanddicke B auf, deren Verhältnis auf H/B ≥ 3, insbesondere H/B ≥ 3,5, weiter bevorzugt H/B ≥ 4 festgelegt ist. Dabei weist die die Wanddicke B bestimmende Seite der Radial- und Umfangsstege in eine bzw. entgegen der Strömungsrichtung, welche im Zentralbereich zumindest im Wesentlichen einer axialen Richtung des Schutzgitters entspricht.In an advantageous embodiment, the radial webs and / or the circumferential webs have a rectangular cross section with a height H and a wall thickness B, the ratio of which to H / W ≥ 3, in particular H / W ≥ 3.5, more preferably H / W ≥ 4 is set. The side of the radial and circumferential webs which determines the wall thickness B points in one direction or counter to the flow direction, which in the central region is at least essentially in an axial direction corresponds to the protective grille.
Das Schutzgitter ist vorzugsweise rotationssymmetrisch ausgebildet. Der Zentralbereich schließt sich in einer günstigen Ausführungsvariante in radialer Richtung unmittelbar an den radialen Außenbereich an, wobei die konvex gekrümmte Hüllfläche des radialen Außenbereichs fließend in den flach ausgebildeten Zentralbereich übergeht. Diese sprunglose Ausbildung des Schutzgitters entlang dessen Hüllfläche begünstigt ebenfalls die Festigkeit und Stabilität und fördert die Möglichkeit, die Radial- und Umfangsstege wie zuvor beschrieben dünnwandiger auszubilden. Alternativ kann zwischen dem radialen Axialbereich und dem Zentralbereich noch ein Zwischenbereich vorgesehen werden, dessen Hüllfläche eine gegenüber dem radialen Außenbereich geringere konvexe Krümmung aufweist, jedoch nicht flach ausgebildet ist.The protective grid is preferably rotationally symmetrical. In a favorable embodiment variant, the central region directly adjoins the radial outer region in the radial direction, the convexly curved envelope surface of the radial outer region flowing smoothly into the flat central region. This uninterrupted design of the protective grille along its envelope surface also favors strength and stability and promotes the possibility of making the radial and circumferential webs thinner as previously described. Alternatively, an intermediate area can be provided between the radial axial area and the central area, the envelope surface of which has a smaller convex curvature than the radial outer area, but is not designed to be flat.
Bei der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die in radialer Richtung in jeweils einem radialen Abstand r zur axialen Mitte des Schutzgitters angeordneten Umfangsstege jeweils eine variierende Winkelanstellung gegenüber einer Axialebene des Schutzgitters aufweisen. Dabei vergrößert sich in einer günstigen Ausführungsform die Winkelanstellung der Umfangsstege in Richtung radial auswärts des Schutzgitters. Erfindungsgemäß bedeutet das, dass die jeweilige Winkelanstellung der Umfangsstege in Abhängigkeit von deren Abstand r zur axialen Mittelachse des Schutzgitters im Verhältnis zu einem maximalen Abstand R eines äußersten Umfangsstegs zur axialen Mittelachse des Schutzgitters variiert und bei einem Abstandverhältnis r/R=1,0 eine Winkelanstellung von 50-70°, bei einem Abstandverhältnis r/R=0,85 eine Winkelanstellung von 30-50°, bei einem Abstandverhältnis r/R=0,70 eine Winkelanstellung von 20-30° und/oder bei einem Abstandverhältnis r/R≤0,55 eine Winkelanstellung von 0-20° gegenüber einer Axialebene des Schutzgitters vorgesehen ist. Der Winkel wird gemessen zwischen einer Erstreckung der Umfangsstege entlang ihrer Höhenrichtung (Höhe H) und der Axialebene des Schutzgitters. Die steigende Winkelanstellung der Umfangsstege von dem Zentralbereich in Richtung des radialen Außenbereichs trägt ebenfalls zur Geräuschreduzierung und einem verbesserten Wirkungsgrad des angeschlossenen Ventilators bei.It is provided in the invention that the circumferential webs arranged in the radial direction at a radial distance r from the axial center of the protective grille each have a varying angular position with respect to an axial plane of the protective grille. In a favorable embodiment, the angular position of the circumferential webs increases in the radially outward direction of the protective grille. According to the invention, this means that the respective angular adjustment of the circumferential webs varies depending on their distance r from the axial central axis of the protective grille in relation to a maximum distance R of an outermost circumferential web from the axial central axis of the protective grille, and an angular adjustment at a spacing ratio r / R = 1.0 of 50-70 °, with a distance ratio r / R = 0.85 an angular position of 30-50 °, with a distance ratio r / R = 0.70 an angular position of 20-30 ° and / or with a distance ratio r / R ≤0.55 an angular adjustment of 0-20 ° relative to an axial plane of the protective grille is provided. The angle is measured between an extent of the circumferential webs along their height direction (height H) and the axial plane of the protective grille. The increasing angle of the circumferential webs from the central area in the direction of the radial outer area also contributes to noise reduction and an improved efficiency of the connected fan.
In einer ferner günstigen Ausführung weisen die Radialstege in einem axialen Querschnitt jeweils eine gekrümmte Form auf und verlaufen bogenförmig mit einem zur axialen Mittellinie des Schutzgitters weisenden Bogenbauch.In a further advantageous embodiment, the radial webs each have a curved shape in an axial cross section and extend in an arc shape with an arcuate belly pointing to the axial center line of the protective grid.
Ein weiterer positiver Aspekt der Erfindung wird durch die speziell konvex geformte Hüllfläche im radialen Außenbereich des Schutzgitters erzielt. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die konvex gekrümmte Hüllfläche im radialen Außenbereich in einem seitlichen Querschnitt eine teilelliptische Kontur bestimmt und sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass das Verhältnis der radialen Länge a des Außenbereichs zu dem Radius c des Schutzgitters auf a/c > 0,25 festgelegt ist. Daraus ergibt sich eine Radialerstreckung des radialen Außenbereichs von mindestens 25% des Gesamtradius des Schutzgitters. Ferner ist eine Ausführungsvariante bevorzugt, bei der ein Verhältnis der axialen Höhe b des Schutzgitters zu dem Radius c des Schutzgitters auf b/c > 0,02 festgelegt ist. Weiter bevorzugt ist, dass das Verhältnis der axialen Höhe b des Schutzgitters zu dem Radius c des Schutzgitters in einem Bereich von 0,025 ≤ b/c ≤ 1 liegt, so dass ein ausreichender axialer Abstand zu dem angeschlossenen Ventilator bzw. dessen Ventilatorrades gewährleistet und gleichzeitig ein in Sachen Geräuschentwicklung und Wirkungsgrad optimiertes Schutzgitter bereitgestellt ist.Another positive aspect of the invention is achieved by the specially convexly shaped envelope surface in the radial outer region of the protective grille. According to the invention, it is provided that the convexly curved envelope surface in the radial outer region determines a partially elliptical contour in a lateral cross section and is characterized in that the ratio of the radial length a of the outer region to the radius c of the protective grid is fixed at a / c> 0.25 . This results in a radial extension of the radial outer region of at least 25% of the total radius of the protective grille. Furthermore, an embodiment variant is preferred in which a ratio of the axial height b of the protective grille to the radius c of the protective grille is fixed at b / c> 0.02. It is further preferred that the ratio of the axial height b of the protective grille to the radius c of the protective grille is in a range of 0.025 b b /
Hinsichtlich der Erstreckung und Anordnung der Umfangsstege und Radialstege des Schutzgitters haben sich mehrere weitere Einflussgrößen als vorteilhaft auf die Geräuschentwicklung und den Wirkungsgrad erwiesen. In einem ersten Aspekt ist vorgesehen, dass sich die Radialstege über den äußersten der Umfangsstege radial bzw. axial hinaus erstrecken und eine Außenkante des Schutzgitters bilden, die dadurch strömungsoffen gestaltet ist. Da sich das Schutzgitter im äußersten radialen Außenbereich fast ausschließlich in axialer Richtung erstreckt, liegt der Hauptanteil bei einer axialen Erstreckung der Radialstege über den radial äußersten Umfangssteg. An der radialen Außenkante des Schutzgitters werden in einer Ausführungsform die Befestigungsmittel einstückig an dem Schutzgitter ausgebildet, um einen Anschluss an den Ventilator über die im Stand der Technik üblichen Befestigungselemente zu ermöglichen.With regard to the extent and arrangement of the circumferential webs and radial webs of the protective grille, several other influencing variables have proven to be advantageous for the noise development and the efficiency. In a first aspect it is provided that the radial webs extend radially or axially beyond the outermost of the circumferential webs and form an outer edge of the protective grille which is thereby designed to be open to flow. Since the protective grille in the outermost radial outer region extends almost exclusively in the axial direction, the main part lies in an axial extension of the radial webs over the radially outermost circumferential web. In one embodiment, the fastening means are integrally formed on the protective grille on the radial outer edge of the protective grille in order to enable connection to the fan via the fastening elements customary in the prior art.
In einem weiteren Aspekt wird das Schutzgitter derart ausgebildet, dass die Anzahl der Radialstege im radialen Außenbereich höher ist als im Zentalbereich, um den Strömungswiderstand im Zentralbereich so gering wie möglich zu gestalten. Aufgrund der insgesamt gewölbten Form des Schutzgitters und des damit einhergehenden vergrößerten axialen Abstands des Zentralbereichs gegenüber dem angeschlossenen Ventilator bzw. Ventilatorrad kann dort die Maschenweite der Gitterstegstruktur vergrößert werden. Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt dies durch eine Reduzierung der Anzahl der in dem Zentralbereich vorgesehenen Radialstege, d.h. ihre Anzahl verringert sich in Richtung einer axialen Mitte des Schutzgitters.In a further aspect, the protective grille is designed in such a way that the number of radial webs in the radial outer region is higher than in the central region in order to make the flow resistance in the central region as low as possible. Due to the overall curved shape of the protective grille and the associated increased axial distance of the central area from the connected fan or fan wheel, the mesh width of the grating web structure can be increased there. According to the invention, this is done by reducing the number of radial webs provided in the central area, i.e. their number decreases in the direction of an axial center of the protective grille.
Die Erfindung umfasst ferner die aus einem Ventilator mit einem oben beschriebenen Schutzgitter gebildete Einheit, deren Wirkungsgrad verbessert und Schallleistung reduziert ist.The invention further comprises the unit formed from a fan with a protective grille as described above, the efficiency of which is improved and the sound power reduced.

Im radialen Außenbereich A ist die Anzahl der Radialstege 2 höher als im Zentralbereich Z. Dies ist dadurch realisiert, dass sich die Radialstege 2 unterschiedlich weit in radialer Einwärtsrichtung erstrecken und teilweise die radial innen liegenden Umfangsstege 2 nicht mehr erreichen.

Die Offenbarung beschränkt sich in ihrer Ausführung nicht auf die vorstehend angegebenen bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiele. Vielmehr ist eine Anzahl von Varianten denkbar, welche von der dargestellten Lösung auch bei grundsätzlich anders gearteten Ausführungen Gebrauch macht. Beispielsweise können benachbarte Umfangsstege auch eine identische Winkelanstellung aufweisen. Ferner können die entgegen der Strömungsrichtung weisenden Oberflächen der Stege des Schutzgitters eine weiter angepasste Form aufweisen, beispielsweise abgerundet sein.The disclosure of the disclosure is not restricted to the preferred exemplary embodiments specified above. Rather, a number of variants are conceivable which make use of the solution shown, even in the case of fundamentally different types. For example, adjacent circumferential webs can also have an identical angular position. Furthermore, the surfaces of the webs of the protective grille pointing counter to the direction of flow can have a further adapted shape, for example be rounded.
