Patent number: 11976668Abstract: A flow guiding device for use on a fan assembly with a motor-operated radial impeller rotating about an axis of rotation. The guiding device has an outer housing and an inner diffuser. A flow duct is formed between the outer housing and inner diffuser. The flow duct extends along an axial flow direction. The outer housing forms a receiving space for the integral holding of the radial impeller. The impeller borders, in the axial direction, on the inner diffuser. The impeller, during operation, takes in a flow axially and blows it out radially into the flow duct. The flow duct is adapted to deflect the flow from a radial direction into an axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2020Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: ebm-papst Mulfingen GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Michael Strehle, Björn Sudler, Daniel Conrad

Patent number: 10760593Abstract: A protective grille for a fan has a web structure which comprises radial webs spaced apart in a circumferential direction and coaxial circumferential webs spaced apart in a radial direction. The protective grille has at least a radial outer region and a central region around a central axis of the protective grille. An envelope surface spanned by the radial outer region and the central region is of convexly curved form in the radial outer region and is of flat form, parallel to a radial plane of the protective grille, in the central region.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2015Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: ebm-papst Mulfingen GmbH & Co.
