Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un agencement perfectionné d'un moteur de ventilateur sur un échangeur de chaleur et un bloc avant pour véhicule automobile muni de cet agencement.The present invention relates to an improved arrangement of a motor fan on a heat exchanger and a front unit for a motor vehicle provided of this arrangement.
On connaít déjà dans l'état de la technique un agencement d'un moteur de ventilateur sur un échangeur de chaleur comprenant un corps muni d'ailettes de refroidissement portées par des tubes de circulation d'un fluide caloporteur, ce corps s'étendant entre deux boítes collectrices de fluide caloporteur reliées entre elles par les tubes.We already know in the prior art an arrangement of a motor fan on a heat exchanger comprising a body provided with fins cooling carried by circulation tubes of a heat transfer fluid, this body extending between two manifolds of heat transfer fluid connected together by the tubes.
Un agencement de ce type est décrit par exemple dans FR-A-2 748 559. Dans ce document, le moteur de ventilateur est fixé sur le corps de l'échangeur au moyen de bras accrochés notamment sur les bords de ce corps. Or, on constate que ces bras de fixation ont tendance à créer des perturbations aéro-acoustiques.An arrangement of this type is described for example in FR-A-2,748,559. this document, the fan motor is fixed to the body of the exchanger by means of arms hooked in particular on the edges of this body. However, we see that these arms of fixation tend to create aero-acoustic disturbances.
L'invention a pour but d'éviter ces perturbations aéro-acoustiques, tout en minimisant le poids et le coût des moyens utilisés pour monter un moteur de ventilateur sur un échangeur de chaleur.The invention aims to avoid these aero-acoustic disturbances, while minimizing the weight and cost of the means used to mount a fan motor on a heat exchanger.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un agencement d'un moteur de ventilateur sur un échangeur de chaleur, du type précité, caractérisé en ce que le moteur est fixé sur un support comprenant au moins une partie en matière surmoulée sur le corps.To this end, the invention relates to an arrangement of a fan motor on a heat exchanger, of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the engine is fixed on a support comprising at least one part of material overmolded on the body.
Suivant d'autres caractéristiques de cet agencement :
- le support comprend une première partie de liaison avec le corps, en élastomère, et une seconde partie de liaison avec le moteur en matière plastique co-moulée avec la première partie ;
- la matière surmoulée est du plastique ;
- le moteur est fixé sur le support au moyen d'au moins une vis, de préférence autotaraudeuse, vissée dans ce support ;
- le moteur comporte au moins une patte de fixation formant un siège passant pour lavis ;
- le support est muni d'au moins un doigt de fixation du moteur, la vis étant vissée dans un trou axial ménagé dans ce doigt.
- the support comprises a first connecting part with the body, made of elastomer, and a second connecting part with the motor made of plastic material co-molded with the first part;
- the overmolded material is plastic;
- the motor is fixed to the support by means of at least one screw, preferably self-tapping, screwed into this support;
- the motor comprises at least one fixing lug forming a passing seat for a wash;
- the support is provided with at least one engine fixing finger, the screw being screwed into an axial hole formed in this finger.
L'invention a également pour objet un bloc avant pour véhicule automobile caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un agencement tel que défini ci-dessus. The invention also relates to a front unit for a motor vehicle characterized in that it comprises an arrangement as defined above.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins dans lesquels :
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un échangeur de chaleur sur lequel est agencé, selon l'invention, un moteur de ventilateur ;
- la figure 2 est une vue en coupe de l'échangeur de chaleur, suivant le plan 2-2 de la figure 1, montrant d'une façon plus détaillée le moteur de ventilateur fixé sur le corps de l'échangeur de chaleur.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a heat exchanger on which is arranged, according to the invention, a fan motor;
- Figure 2 is a sectional view of the heat exchanger, according to plane 2-2 of Figure 1, showing in more detail the fan motor fixed to the body of the heat exchanger.
On a représenté sur la figure 1 un bloc avant 10 de véhicule automobile muni
d'un échangeur de chaleur 12 et d'un ventilateur 13. Ce ventilateur 13 comporte un moteur
électrique 14 d'entraínement d'une hélice classique 16 munie d'un bol 18 et d'une série de
pales 20 dont une seule est représentée sur la figure 2. L'hélice 16, qui n'est pas
représentée sur la figure 1 pour des raisons de clarté, est montée de façon connue en soi
sur l'arbre du moteur 14.FIG. 1 shows a
L'échangeur de chaleur comporte un corps 22 muni d'ailettes de
refroidissement 24 portées par un faisceau de tubes 26 de circulation d'un fluide
caloporteur.The heat exchanger comprises a
Le corps 22 s'étend entre deux boítes collectrices de fluide caloporteur,
inférieure 28 et supérieure 30. Ces boítes 28, 30 sont reliées entre elles par les tubes 26
qui s'étendent sensiblement verticalement.The
Les ailettes 24 sont par exemple planes et traversées par les tubes 26.The
Le corps 22 a une forme générale sensiblement parallélépipédique aplatie
définissant de grandes faces parallèles opposées sensiblement verticales. Le moteur 14 est
fixé sur l'une de ces deux grandes faces du corps 22 comme cela sera décrit ci-dessous.The
Le moteur 14 est fixé sur un support 32 comportant au moins une partie en
matière surmoulée sur le corps 22. De préférence, la matière surmoulée est du plastique
du type thermodurcissable ou thermoplastique. Le surmoulage est réalisé par un procédé
connu, par exemple par injection ou compression de la matière plastique de manière que
les ailettes 24 et les tubes 26 soient au moins partiellement noyés dans la matière
plastique.The
De préférence, le support 32 comporte une première partie 32A de liaison
avec le corps 22, en élastomère, et une seconde partie 32B de liaison avec le moteur 14
en matière plastique co-moulée avec la première partie 32A. Preferably, the
La première partie 32A du support, douée d'élasticité caoutchoutique, permet
d'absorber les vibrations du moteur 14 pour éviter leur propagation dans le corps 22 de
l'échangeur de chaleur.The
Le moteur 14 est fixé sur le support 32 au moyen d'au moins une vis, de
préférence autotaraudeuse, vissée dans ce support 32. Dans l'exemple décrit, le moteur 14
est fixé sur le support 32 au moyen de trois vis autotaraudeuses 34.The
Les vis 34 sont portées par trois pattes de fixation 36 formant chacune un
siège passant pour la vis correspondante 34. Ces pattes 36 sont solidaires du contour
externe d'un boítier 38 du moteur 14 de forme générale cylindrique.The
La seconde partie 32B du support est muni de trois doigts de fixation 40
associés aux trois vis 34. Chaque vis 34 est vissée dans un trou borgne axial 42 ménagé
dans le doigt 40 correspondant.The
On notera que, à la différence de la première partie 32A, la seconde partie 32B
du support n'est pas douée d'élasticité caoutchoutique mais est adaptée pour assurer une
liaison solide entre le support 32 et les vis 34.Note that, unlike the
L'invention ne se limite pas au mode de réalisation décrit précédemment. En particulier, la matière surmoulée n'est pas nécessairement du plastique et peut être en variante de l'aluminium ou un alliage à base d'aluminium.The invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. In in particular, the overmolded material is not necessarily plastic and may be made of variant of aluminum or an aluminum-based alloy.
Parmi les avantages de l'invention, on notera que celle-ci permet de fixer le moteur de ventilateur sur le corps de l'échangeur de chaleur avec des moyens de fixation simples, légers et peu coûteux, ces moyens de fixation minimisant les perturbations aéro-acoustiques.Among the advantages of the invention, it will be noted that it makes it possible to fix the fan motor on the body of the heat exchanger with fixing means simple, light and inexpensive, these fixing means minimizing aero-acoustic disturbances.
