Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a component on an automobile, in particular to a flow-guiding incremental automobile radiator fan. Background Art
[0002] Radiator fans are primarily used to dissipate heat from automotive radiators, which typically cool the engine. After the engine starts and the temperature reaches a certain level, the radiator activates to dissipate heat and maintain stable engine temperatures. However, conventional automotive radiator fans lack adequate sealing in their motors, making them susceptible to short circuits or damage during water intrusion, impacting the cooling system. Furthermore, conventional fan blades have limited flow-guiding efficiency, limiting airflow capacity. While existing sealing structures exist, they often focus on single locations (such as bearings), making it difficult to achieve complete motor waterproofing. Furthermore, weak points like wiring connections are susceptible to water seepage. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] The present invention is described in detail below through examples, which are only used to further illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] like Figure 1 — Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a flow-incremental automobile radiator fan, which mainly includes:
[0020] Overall structure
[0021] The radiator fan includes an outer frame 1, a motor 2 and a fan blade 3. The motor 2 is fixed to the center of the outer frame 1, and the fan blade 3 is driven by the motor shaft 24; Figure 4 As shown, an annular frame 31 is provided on the outer edge of the fan blade 3, and a sealing ring 32 extends from the outer end of the frame 31. The sealing ring 32 cooperates with the inner wall gap of the outer frame 1 to seal the gap and reduce airflow leakage. The motor 2 includes an upper cover 21, a base 22 and a rotor 23. A rotating shaft 24 is provided on the rotor 23. The upper cover 21 and the base 22 are sealed and connected, and a sealing connection is provided between the upper cover 21 and the rotor 23.
[0022] 3-blade efficiency design
[0023] The end of the blade 33 of the fan blade 3 is fixed to the inner side of the frame 31, and a triangular incremental piece 331 extends from the outer side of the blade 33. The incremental piece 331 is connected to the blade 33 at an acute angle to enhance the axial guidance of the airflow and increase the air volume at a unit speed.
[0024] The frame 31 and the sealing ring 32 form a guide channel to constrain the airflow to flow in the axial direction and reduce eddy current loss.
[0025] Fully sealed motor structure
[0026] Upper bearing 4 seal assembly: Figure 5 As shown, the upper end of the rotating shaft 24 is mounted to the upper cover 21 via the upper bearing 4. The upper cover 21 has a first mounting groove 210 to accommodate the upper bearing 4. A first sealing ring 5 (O-ring) is positioned between the inner wall of the first mounting groove 210 and the upper bearing 4. An annular retaining ring 2101 extends from the inside of the notch of the first mounting groove 210. An annular positioning groove 2102 is positioned within the retaining ring 2101. A second sealing ring 6 (made of fluororubber) is positioned between the annular positioning groove 2102 and the end face of the upper bearing 4. The end face of the upper bearing 4 is covered with a sealing rubber sleeve 7 made of silicone, forming a triple sealing barrier.
[0027] Elastic seal of lower bearing 8: The lower end of the rotating shaft 24 is installed in the second mounting groove 220 on the base 22 through the lower bearing 8. The bottom of the groove is closed and an elastic ring 9 made of wavy rubber material is arranged between the lower bearing 8. The wavy structure of the peripheral wall of the elastic ring 9 provides axial buffering and compensates for assembly tolerances to ensure the sealing of the bearing.
[0028] Shell seal: Figure 6 As shown, the motor 2 housing is composed of an upper cover 21 and a base 22 that are fastened together. An annular step 211 is provided at the end of the base 22. A third sealing ring 10 (made of silicone) is disposed on the annular step 211. The upper cover 21 end presses the third sealing ring 10 to achieve radial sealing.
[0029] Waterproof design of wiring port
[0030] The side wall of the base 22 is provided with a wiring port, and the wires pass through the wiring port to connect to the internal circuit board. The outer side of the wiring port is covered with a cover 20, and the cover 20 is fixed to the base 22 through a concave and convex slot.
[0031] A glue injection port is provided on the top of the cover 20. After installation, epoxy resin glue is injected through the glue injection port. After curing, the pores of the wiring port are completely sealed to prevent water vapor from intruding.
[0032] Through the above technical solution,
[0033] Fully enclosed waterproof motor: Triple bearing seals, housing seals, and glue-injected wiring ports ensure the motor is IP67-rated for continuous operation even in submerged conditions.
[0034] Incremental guide blades: The frame 31 and the incremental blades 331 work together to increase air volume by 15%-20% and reduce noise by 3-5dB.
[0035] Vibration resistance: The wave-shaped elastic ring absorbs the vibration of the rotating shaft 24, extending the bearing life.
[0036] During assembly, the upper cover 21 of the motor 2 is first bolted to the base 22, and the third sealing ring 10 is tightened to form a radial seal. Subsequently, the first and second sealing rings are inserted into the first mounting groove 210 and the retaining ring 2101 positioning groove. After the upper bearing 4 is installed, the sealing rubber sleeve 7 is applied. Before the lower bearing 8 is installed into the second mounting groove 220, a wavy elastic ring 9 is pre-installed to adapt its deformation to the bearing tolerance. The fan blade 3 is injection molded using nylon and glass fiber material. The incremental piece 331 and the blade 33 are integrally formed, with an inclination angle of 25°. After the wiring port cover 20 is installed, epoxy glue is injected from the glue injection port, and after curing, a seamless sealing layer is formed.
[0037] The elastic ring is replaced with polyurethane material, and the peak spacing of the wavy wall is 2mm, further improving the cushioning performance.
