- so-called air guide elements are arranged in the region of the axial and suction side of the axial blades.
- a so-called hub ramp is provided in the pressure-side region of the axial blade.
- the air guide elements extend over the entire blade pitch, that is, from the leading edge of an axial blade to the leading edge of an adjacent axial blade.
- This particular embodiment of the air guide elements as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 of the aforementioned application, thus forms between two blades a continuous surface or the wall for a closed flow channel.

- the latter engage with their leading edge in the radially directed cooling air flow and direct this relatively low loss on the pressure side of the blades, that is in the range of the hub ramp.
- the outer surfaces of the radial blade element and the hub ramp form a common surface, so that a favorable flow pattern is achieved in the hub area.
- the surfaces of the stabilizer, the radial blade element and the hub ramp merge into one another, so that the blade root pressure and suction side is surrounded by a common surface, which generates a particularly low-loss flow.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Lüfter mit Axialschaufeln, insbesondere für Kühler von Kraftfahrzeugen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Ein solcher Lüfter ist z.B. aus jeder einzelmen der DE-C-62510, DE-A-19710608 oder GB-A-2 041 103 bekannt.The invention relates to a fan with axial blades, in particular for radiator of motor vehicles according to the preamble of
Nach der Anmeldung DE-A- 19929978 der Anmelderin sind im nabennahen und saugseitigen Bereich der Axialschaufeln sogenannte Luftleitelemente angeordnet. Zusätzlich ist im druckseitigen Bereich der Axialschaufel eine sogenannte Nabenrampe vorgesehen. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform erstrecken sich die Luftleitelemente über die gesamte Schaufelteilung, das heißt von der Vorderkante einer Axialschaufel bis zur Vorderkante einer benachbarten Axialschaufel. Diese besondere Ausführungsform der Luftleitelemente, wie sie in den Fig. 3 und 4 der genannten Anmeldung dargestellt ist, bildet somit zwischen zwei Schaufeln eine durchgehende Fläche bzw. die Wand für einen geschlossenen Strömungskanal. Bei bestimmten Strömungszuständen können diese geschlossenen Strömungskanäle nachteilig sein, insbesondere können sie zu Staueffekten und Wirbelbildungen, das heißt zu Strömungsverlusten führen.According to the application DE-A-19929978 of the applicant, so-called air guide elements are arranged in the region of the axial and suction side of the axial blades. In addition, a so-called hub ramp is provided in the pressure-side region of the axial blade. In a preferred embodiment, the air guide elements extend over the entire blade pitch, that is, from the leading edge of an axial blade to the leading edge of an adjacent axial blade. This particular embodiment of the air guide elements, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 of the aforementioned application, thus forms between two blades a continuous surface or the wall for a closed flow channel. In certain flow conditions, these closed flow channels may be disadvantageous, in particular they may lead to congestion and vortex formation, that is to flow losses.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist eine Vermeidung der vorgenannten Staueffekte infolge eines geschlossenen Strömungskanals.The task of Invention is an avoidance of the aforementioned congestion effects due to a closed flow channel.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich aus den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1: Demzufolge sind die Luftleitelemente als flossenartige Stabilisatoren ausgebildet, die sich in Umfangsrichtung nur über einen Bereich von 1 % bis 40 % der Schaufelteilung erstrecken. Die Luftleitelemente belassen somit zwischen zwei Schaufeln und der Nabe einen offenen Strömungskanal, bei welchem die Nabenströmung und die Schaufelströmung kontrolliert geführt werden. Die Stabilisatoren im Schaufelwurzelbereich bewirken auf der Saugseite, der Schaufeln eine Trennung von Naben- und Schaufelströmung und verhindern eine Ablösung der Strömung sowie eine schädliche Wirbelbildung.The solution to this problem arises from the features of claim 1: Accordingly, the air guide elements are designed as fin-like stabilizers, which extend in the circumferential direction only over a range of 1% to 40% of the blade pitch. The air guide elements thus leave between two blades and the hub an open flow channel in which the hub flow and the blade flow are controlled. The stabilizers in the blade root area cause a separation of hub and blade flow on the suction side, the blades and prevent flow separation and harmful vortex formation.
Ähnliche flossenartige Luftleitelemente sind an sich bekannt, und zwar als sogenannte Grenzschichtzäune aus der DE 26 14 318 C2 oder als sogenannte Hilfsflügel aus der DE 27 56 880 C2. Allerdings sind diese Grenzschichtzäune bzw. Hilfsflügel nach dem Stand der Technik im radial äußersten Bereich der Schaufeln, das heißt im Schaufelblattspitzenbereich angeordnet. Diese Grenzschichtzäune sollen der Strömung einerseits Energie zuführen und andererseits eine Umströmung der Schaufelspitzen (von der Druck- zur Saugseite) verhindern. Dem gegenüber sind die erfindungsgemäßen Stabilisatoren im nabennahen Bereich, das heißt im Schaufelwurzelbereich angeordnet.Similar fin-like air guide elements are known per se, as so-called boundary layer fences from DE 26 14 318 C2 or as so-called auxiliary wing from DE 27 56 880 C2. However, these prior art boundary layer fences are located in the radially outermost region of the vanes, that is, in the airfoil tip region. On the one hand, these boundary layer fences should supply energy to the flow and, on the other hand, prevent flow around the blade tips (from the pressure side to the suction side). In contrast, the stabilizers according to the invention in the region near the hub, that is arranged in the blade root area.
Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 2 nimmt die umfangseitige Erstreckung der Stabilisatoren in Luftströmungsrichtung zu - damit sind die Stabilisatoren an den Dickenzuwachs der Grenzschichtströmung bzw. der Wirbelbildung angepasst. Dies gilt insbesondere für die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 3.According to a further embodiment of the invention according to
Nach weiteren vorteilhaften Ausbildungen der Erfindung entspricht die Länge der Stabilisatoren, in Luftströmungsrichtung gesehen, der Länge der Axialschaufeln, wobei die Vorderkante der Stabilisatoren etwas gegenüber der Schaufelvorderkante in Strömungsrichtung versetzt sein kann.According to further advantageous embodiments of the invention, the length of the stabilizers, seen in the direction of air flow, corresponds to the length of the axial blades, wherein the front edge of the stabilizers may be slightly offset from the blade leading edge in the flow direction.
Vorzugsweise ist die Fläche der Stabilisatoren in radialer Richtung leicht nach außen gekrümmt, das heißt leicht konkav ausgebildet. Auch diese Maßnahme trägt dem Verlauf der Strömung im Schaufelwurzelbereich Rechnung.Preferably, the surface of the stabilizers in the radial direction is slightly curved outward, that is slightly concave. This measure also takes into account the course of the flow in the blade root area.
Gemäß Anspruch 7 ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Stabilisatoren in einem radialen Bereich von 0 bis 40 % der Schaufelhöhe H, vorzugsweise von 0 bis 20 % angeordnet sind. In diesem Bereich kann die Nabenströmung und die Strömung an der Schaufelwurzel am effektivsten beeinflußt werden.According to
In weiterer Ausbildung der Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 8 weist die Nabe in ihrem inneren Bereich eine Flüssigkeitsreibungskupplung auf, die an ihrer Frontseite radial ausgerichtete Kühlrippen aufweist. Letztere erzeugen eine im wesentlichen radial ausgerichtete Luftströmung, eine sog. Kühlluftströmung.In a further embodiment of the invention according to
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 9 sind jedem Stabilisator Radialschaufelemente zugeordnet, das heißt sogenannte Strömungsteiler nach der Hauptanmeldung. Letztere greifen mit ihrer Vorderkante in die radial ausgerichtete Kühlluftströmung ein und lenken diese relativ verlustarm auf die Druckseite der Schaufeln, das heißt in den Bereich der Nabenrampe um.According to a development according to
Nach einer Weiterbildung gemäß Anspruch 10 bilden die äußeren Flächen des Radialschaufelelementes und der Nabenrampe eine gemeinsame Fläche, so daß ein günstiger Strömungsverlauf im Nabenbereich erreicht wird.According to a development according to
Nach einer Weiterbildung gemäß Anspruch 11 gehen die Flächen des Stabilisators, des Radialschaufelelementes und der Nabenrampe ineinander über, so daß die Schaufelwurzel druck- und saugseitig von einer gemeinsamen Fläche umgeben ist, die eine besonders verlustarme Strömung erzeugt.According to a development according to

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Axiallüfter 1 mit acht im wesentlichen radial ausgerichteten Lüfterschaufeln 2, die auf einer Nabe 3 befestigt sind. Dieser Lüfter 1 bzw. dessen Nabe 3 ist auf einer Flüssigkeitsreibungskupplung 4 mit radial verlaufenden Kühlrippen 4' befestigt, die den Lüfter 1 in Richtung des Pfeiles A antreibt. Im Bereich der Nabe 3 sind Stabilisatoren 5 und Radialschaufelelemente 6 angeordnet. Fig. 1 shows an
Fig. 2 zeigt eine Seitenansicht des Lüfters 1 mit einer Ansicht auf die Schaufel 2 in Richtung deren radialer Längsachse. Diese Schaufel 2 weist eine Vorderkante bzw. Anströmkante 7, eine Hinter- bzw. Abströmkante 8 sowie eine Saugseite 9 und eine Druckseite 10 auf. Auf der Saugseite 9 ist der flossenartig ausgebildete Stabilisator 5 angeordnet, der eine äußere Begrenzungslinie 11 und eine innere Begrenzungslinie 12 (an der Verbindungsstelle mit der Schaufel 2) aufweist. Die umfangseitige Erstreckung s des Stabilisators 5 nimmt von der Anströmseite (s1) zur Abströmseite (s2) hin zu, d. h. s2 > s1. Die Länge I des Stabilisators 5 entspricht im wesentlichen der Schaufellänge L, wobei die Vorderkante 13 des Stabilisators 5 gegenüber der Schaufelvorderkante 7 etwas zurückversetzt ist, während die Hinterkante 14 etwa bündig mit der Hinterkante 8 der Schaufel abschließt. Bei einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel kann die Länge L ca. 175 mm betragen. FIG. 2 shows a side view of the
Das Maß s2 beträgt bei einer Schaufelteilung von t = π · D : Z = π · 330 : 8 ≈ 130 mm, ca. 25 - 30 mm, d. h. etwa 20 % der Schaufelteilung im Nabenbereich (Nabendurchmesser DN = 330).The dimension s 2 is at a blade pitch of t = π · D: Z = π · 330: 8 ≈ 130 mm, about 25 - 30 mm, ie about 20% of the blade pitch in the hub area (hub diameter D N = 330).
Im frontseitigen Bereich der Nabe 3 ist in Strömungsrichtung (das heißt entgegen der Drehrichtung A) vor der Schaufelvorderkante 7 das Radialschaufelelement 6 angeordnet, welches in der Anmeldung DE-A-19929978 der Anmelderin auch als Strömungsteiler bezeichnet wurde. Dieses Radialschaufelelement überdeckt in axialer Richtung den vorderen Teil der Flüssigkeitsreibungskupplung 4, während die Vorderkante 15 der Nabe 3 in diesem Bereich etwas zurückgesetzt ist.In the front region of the
Fig. 3 zeigt eine Ansicht des Lüfters 1 von vorn, das heißt in Richtung der Drehachse M. Die Lüfterblätter 2 weisen eine radiale Erstreckung bzw. Höhe H auf. Innerhalb eines radialen Bereiches von Null bis maximal 40 % der Schaufelhöhe H sind die Stabilisatoren 5 angeordnet, die leicht konkav ausgebildet sind, daß heißt in radialer Richtung nach außen gekrümmt. Bei dem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel beträgt die Schaufelhöhe H = 210 mm bei dem bereits erwähnten Nabendurchmesser DN = 330 mm. Der Stabilisator erstreckt sich radial über einen Bereich von etwa Null bis r1 = 30 mm, d. h. 14 % der Schaufelhöhe H. Aus dieser Darstellung der Stabilisatoren 5 wird auch erkennbar, daß diese in axialer Richtung (in Richtung der Rotationsachse M) entformbar sind. Dies ist insbesondere dann von Vorteil, wenn der Lüfter als Kunststoffteil gespritzt oder als Gußteil hergestellt wird. Die gestrichelten Linien 16 zeigen den Verlauf der Nabenrampe auf der Rückseite (Druckseite) der Schaufel 2. Fig. 3 shows a view of the
Fig. 4 zeigt den Lüfter 1 in einer Ansicht von hinten, das heißt in Richtung der Rotationsachse M. Man blickt also auf die Druckseite 10 der Lüfterschaufeln 2: Dort ist im Naben- bzw. Schaufelwurzelbereich die Nabenrampe durch die Linie 16 schematisch angedeutet. Mit der Bezugsziffer 5' ist der Teil der Stabilisatoren 5 bezeichnet, der über die Hinterkante 8 der Lüfterblätter 2 hinaus steht. FIG. 4 shows the
Fig. 5 zeigt einen Axialschnitt durch den Lüfter 1 entlang der Linie V-V in Fig. 4. Das Lüfterblatt 2, welches als Kunststoffteil gespritzt ist, weist in seinem linken, das heißt saugseitigen Bereich den etwa rechtwinklig abstehenden Stabilisator 5 auf, der an die Lüfterschaufel 2 angespritzt ist. Auch hier wird die axiale Entformbarkeit der Stabilisatoren 5 deutlich. Auf der rechten Seite der Schaufel ist mit der Bezugsziffer 16 die Oberkante der Nabenrampe markiert. Fig. 5 shows an axial section through the

Fig. 7 zeigt eine vergrößerte Darstellung, das heißt eine Teilansicht der Fig. 1 für den Schaufelwurzelbereich. Man erkennt hier deutlich nochmals die Flächen der Stabilisatoren 5, der Radialschaufelelemente bzw. Strömungsteiler 6 sowie der Nabenrampe 16. Die Flächenelemente 5 und 6 sind bei dieser Ausführungsform durch die Vorderkante 7 der Schaufel 2 unterbrochen. Fig. 7 shows an enlarged view, that is, a partial view of FIG. 1 for the blade root area. The surfaces of the
Fig. 8 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel, bei welchem die außenliegenden Flächen 5a und 6a der Stabilisatoren 5 und der Radialschaufelelemente 6 derart ineinander integriert sind, daß sie eine gemeinsame, übergangslose Fläche mit einer gemeinsamen Vorderkante 17 bilden. Das Flächenelement 6a geht also einerseits auf der Saugseite der Schaufel 2 in das Flächenelement 5a und andererseits auf der Druckseite der Schaufel in das Flächenelement 16 der Nabenrampe über. Dadurch wird eine verlustarme Umströmung der Schaufelwurzel, das heißt im Nabenbereich erzielt, wobei die im wesentlichen radial ausgerichtete Kühlluftströmung der Flüssigkeitsreibungskupplung mit der Schaufelumströmung kontrolliert zusammengeführt wird. Damit kann die Leistung dieses Lüfters, insbesondere in Verbindung mit der Kupplung verbessert werden. Fig. 8 shows a further embodiment in which the
