Abstract
An electric-motor radiator fan of a motor vehicle has a fan shroud with a motor holder. An electric motor is inserted in the motor holder. A heat shield plate is arranged on the end side of the electric motor. The heat shield plate is placed onto a projection of the motor holder by way of a cut-out, and the heat shield plate is pivoted around the projection, which forms an axis of rotation, in such a way that the heat shield plate is forced at least in sections into at least one holding contour of the motor holder in a positive locking and/or friction-locking manner.

An electric-motor radiator fan of a motor vehicle, the radiator fan comprising:
- a fan shroud with a motor holder, said motor holder being formed with at least one holding contour and with an axially protruding projection;
- an electric motor inserted in said motor holder;
- and
- a heat protection plate arranged on an end side of said electric motor;
- said heat protection plate being formed with a cutout for placement on said axially protruding projection of said motor holder;
- and
- said heat protection plate, with said axially protruding projection in said cutout, being pivotable about an axis of rotation defined by said axially protruding projection and said axis of rotation being parallel to an axis of rotation of the electric-motor, to rotate said heat protection plate, at least in certain portions thereof, into said at least one holding contour of said motor holder with at least one of a form-fit or a force-fit.
A heat protection plate for a radiator fan having a fan shroud with a motor holder the motor holder being formed with at least one holding contour and with an axially protruding projection, and an electric motor inserted in the motor holder, wherein the heat protection plate:
- is configured to be arranged on an end side of the electric motor and is formed with a cutout to be placed on the axially protruding projection of the motor holder;
- and
- with the axially protruding projection being inserted in the cutout, being pivotable about an axis of rotation defined by the axially protruding projection and the axis of rotation being parallel to an axis of rotation of the electric-motor, to rotate the heat protection plate, at least in certain portions thereof, into the at least one holding contour of the motor holder with at least one of a form-fit or a force-fit.
