Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cooling fans for new energy vehicles, and in particular to a cooling fan for new energy vehicles. Background Art

[0002] When a new energy vehicle is in use, the battery pack that provides power generates a large amount of heat, which requires a cooling fan to dissipate the heat from the battery pack. Therefore, the cooling fan is an indispensable part of a new energy vehicle. The cooling fan includes a mounting bracket connected to the vehicle body, fan blades placed in the mounting bracket, and a motor that drives the fan blades. Existing cooling fans generally have the following disadvantages: 1. The motor is provided with multiple connecting plates, which are fixed to the mounting bracket by screws and nuts. In the industry, the installation of bolts and nuts is relatively troublesome. When tightening the nuts, the nuts are first screwed onto the screws one by one to ensure that the nuts do not fall off, and then the nuts are tightened step by step. Although this connection method is common, it still has problems that affect assembly efficiency; 2. The mounting bracket is connected to the vehicle body by bolts and nuts. The mounting bracket and the vehicle body are each provided with multiple mounting holes. Due to machining accuracy, it is difficult to ensure that the size between two mounting holes on the mounting bracket is consistent with the size between two mounting holes on the vehicle body, resulting in great effort during the assembly of the bolts and nuts; 3. In order to adjust the wind speed of the cooling fan, an external resistor is often connected to the motor. When the resistor is working, a large amount of heat is generated. The heat cannot be dissipated in time, causing the plastic body near the resistor to age or even melt. Summary of the Invention
