Description

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a cooling fan assembly for a vehicle,

The present invention relates to a fan assembly, and more particularly, to a cooling fan assembly for a vehicle used for cooling a heat exchange medium passing through a heat exchanger such as a radiator or a condenser of an automobile.

In general, an axial flow fan is a fluid machine that rotates a plurality of vanes, which are a plurality of vanes arranged in a radial direction, to blow air in an axial direction. The axial flow fan generally surrounds the axial fan, Which together form a single fan assembly.

The fan assembly is configured to blow air into the heat exchanger to promote heat dissipation of an air-cooled heat exchanger such as a radiator or a condenser of an automobile. Depending on the arrangement type of the heat exchanger, a pusher type and a puller type.

The pusher type is a type in which the axial flow fan forcibly blows air to the rear side in front of the heat exchanger. This type is used when the air space to the heat exchanger is low and therefore the clearance space is narrow behind the heat exchanger in the engine room. Is a type in which the air in front of the heat exchanger is sucked in through the heat exchanger at the rear of the heat exchanger and is applied to most automobiles because the blowing efficiency is relatively higher than that of the pusher type.

1, a hub (hub) 20 coupled to a shaft 52 of a driving source, such as the motor 50, is connected to the axial fan 52, A plurality of blades 30 radially disposed on the outer periphery of the hub 20 and a fan band 40 connecting the ends of the blades 30 to prevent deformation of the blades 30. [ .

Therefore, the axial fan 10 is rotated by the rotational force transmitted from the driving motor 50 to the hub 20, so that the air can be blown in the axial direction by the blades 30.

Here, the sweeping angle in the present specification is defined with reference to FIG. 2, the vane 30 of the axial fan has a leading edge 32a and a trailing edge 32b. In general, the leading edge 32a and the trailing edge 32b are inclined in the same direction . An angle between a radius line rn passing through a certain point from the center of the hub 20 and a tangent line at any point is defined as a sweep angle σr in order to indicate a tilting direction of the blade 30. In the drawing, ML means the center line of the leading edge 32a and trailing edge 32b.

In FIG. 2, on the side of the root of the blade 32c contacting the hub 20, it leans in the direction opposite to the rotation, and on the side of the tip of the blade 30d which is the tip of the blade 30 is inclined in the direction of rotation so that the angle of flexure? (-) on the side of the root portion 32c and is changed from the tip side to the forward side (+) by being bent at a specific point (hereinafter referred to as inflection point rI) while going to the tip end 32d. In other words, (? R2 > 0) at the tip side region (r > rI). In Fig. 3, it has a backward deflection angle at r1 and an forward deflection angle at r2. Generally, the axial flow fan has a flow concentrating portion (C) in which the flow concentrates near the inflection point (rI) of each blade whose bending angle changes from backward to forward.

2, the conventional axial fan is manufactured such that the blade 30 has the tip of the blade 30 at a forward deflection angle and the tip of the blade 30 has a backward deflection angle.

In addition, a shroud 60 fixed to a heat exchanger of a vehicle is used for effectively guiding the air blown by the axial flow fan 10 to the heat exchanger, and the shroud 60 (50) so that the axial flow fan (10) can be rotatably inserted to guide the air blowing.

However, in the conventional vehicle cooling fan assembly, only one axial fan is coupled to the shaft of the driving source to limit the amount of air generated, which lowers the cooling efficiency of the heat exchanger.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a cooling fan assembly for a vehicle that is capable of increasing the cooling efficiency by increasing the blowing amount in a state where the cooling fan assembly is installed in a heat exchanger of a vehicle.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a cooling fan assembly for a vehicle including: a driving motor having a rotary shaft; A shroud 210 having a ventilation hole 210 at the center thereof and a motor fixing part 220 extending from the inner circumferential surface of the ventilation hole 210 by a plurality of stator 221 in the circumferential direction and fixing the driving motor 100, (200); A hub 310 coupled to both ends of the rotary shaft 110 of the driving motor 100 and coupled to the rotary shaft 110 of the driving motor 100, Rear fan 300 and 400 radially disposed on the outer periphery and having a plurality of blades 320 and 420. The front and rear fans 300 and 400 are connected to each other by inter- 420 are coupled to the rotating shaft 110 of the driving motor 100 such that the wings 320 and 420 of the front and rear fans 300 and 400 are bent at angles 321 and 421 And the rear end of the tip end 322 is connected to the rear end of the tip end 322,

The wing 420 of the rear fan 400 is positioned such that the center of the end where the wing 420 and the hub 410 are in contact is positioned at an intermediate angle between two adjacent wings 320 of the front fan 300 .
