Abstract

The invention relates to a cooling module including an axial fan for vehicles, in particular for electric vehicles, which is characterized in that a cooling module casing encloses the axial fan and a flow deflection region and a cooling airflow enters the cooling module through an intake plane and leaves the cooling module through an outflow plane, wherein the intake plane and the outflow plane are aligned at an angle alpha in relation to one another and the angle alpha as the inclination of the intake plane in relation to the outflow plane is formed greater than or equal to 55° and the cooling module casing has a rear wall, wherein the rear wall is arranged at an angle beta of at most 90° in relation to the outflow plane, so that a flow deflection region is formed in the cooling module casing between the intake plane and the outflow plane and the rear wall.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cooling module comprising an axial fan for vehicles, the cooling module comprising a cooling module casing enclosing the axial fan and a flow deflection region and a cooling airflow enters the cooling module through an intake plane and leaves the cooling module through an outflow plane, wherein the intake plane and the outflow plane are aligned at an angle alpha in relation to one another and the angle alpha as the inclination of the intake plane in relation to the outflow plane is formed greater than or equal to 55° and the cooling module casing has a rear wall, wherein the rear wall is arranged at an angle beta of at most 90° in relation to the outflow plane, so that a flow deflection region is formed in the cooling module casing between the intake plane and the outflow plane and the rear wall, wherein at least one housing stator is formed as an air guiding element as part of the cooling module casing and is arranged in the flow deflection region and is formed oriented into the flow deflection region and ribbed, wherein the housing stator has a housing stator beginning and a housing stator end, and wherein the housing stator beginning is formed in the direction of the tangent of the housing stator inlet flow direction and the housing stator end is formed perpendicular to the outflow plane, wherein multiple housing stators are formed having the housing stator ends parallel in relation to one another in the region of the rear wall of the cooling module casing.

2. The cooling module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the housing stators is formed as a rib of the cooling module casing.

3. The cooling module as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the multiple housing stators are formed as part of the cooling module casing, wherein each of the housing stators has a curvature and a length corresponding to its location in such a way that the cooling airflow is aligned perpendicularly in relation to the outflow plane.

4. The cooling module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the axial fan is additionally formed comprising stator vanes as part of a mounting of the axial fan.

5. The cooling module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the angle beta is formed at 85°.

6. The cooling module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cooling module casing is formed in multiple parts.

7. The cooling module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the housing stators has a housing stator head having a radius of 10 mm.

8. The cooling module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the housing stators has a housing stator neck having a thickness of 10 mm.

9. The cooling module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the housing stators is separately manufactured and is formed insertable into the cooling module casing.

10. The cooling module as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the each of the housing stators can be clipped into the cooling module casing.
