Abstract
A fan includes an electric motor and a fan wheel drivable or driven by the electric motor, arranged within its housing. The underside of the housing has an opening for an electric outlet, and a side the housing has a bracket, thereby forming a bushing. An electric line is arranged at least partially at the underside of the housing and is guided through the bushing, and a cover element is arranged at the underside of the housing. The cover element has a first section and a second section. The cover element is arranged at the underside of the housing in such a way that the first section is at least partially arranged in the bushing and clamps the electric line in the bushing while forming a strain relief, and that the second section covers the opening.
Claims19
A fan comprised:
- a housing with an underside of the housing,
- wherein within the housing an electric motor and a fan wheel drivable or driven by the electric motor are arranged;
- the underside of the housing further configured with a circumferential side, said circumferential side configured parallel to the axis of rotation of the fan wheel;
- wherein, on the underside of the housing, the housing has an opening for an electric outlet arranged approximately between the axis of rotation of the fan wheel and the circumferential side;
- wherein, on the circumferential side the housing has a bracket, so that a bushing is formed between the bracket and the circumferential side;
- wherein, an external electric line is arranged at least partially at the underside of the housing and is guided through the bushing between the bracket and the circumferential side of the housing, to the interior of the underside of the housing, said bushing configured so that the electric line runs via an edge at the bushing from the circumferential side to the interior of underside of the housing;
- wherein, a cover element is arranged at the underside of the housing, said cover element further comprising a first section and a second section, said first and second sections are arranged at an angle towards each other;
- and,
- wherein the cover element is configured at the underside of the housing in such a way that the first section is at least partially disposed in the bushing and clamps the electric line in the bushing while forming a strain relief, and in that the second section covers the opening.
