Abstract

The invention relates to a device for receiving an electric motor (1) which extends along a longitudinal axis (2) and can be housed inside a motor support of a ventilation installation for a vehicle, said receiving device being connected to said motor support by a decoupling means and comprising a collar (18) on which a first blocking means (30) is formed, and a ring (13) comprising a second blocking means (22), characterised in that the collar (18) and the ring (13) are separate and connected to each other by at least one fixing means (23).

Claims

1. A device for receiving an electric motor which extends along a longitudinal axis and which is capable of being housed inside a motor support of a ventilation installation for a vehicle, said receiving device is connected to said motor support by a decoupling means and comprises a collar on which is formed a first immobilizing means, a ring comprising a second immobilizing means, wherein the collar and the ring are distinct and connected to one another by at least one fastening means.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first immobilizing means is capable of limiting the movement of the motor along the longitudinal axis.

3. The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the collar is capable of surrounding the motor and from which emerges the first immobilizing means, the latter taking the form of an abutment which extends radially relative to the longitudinal axis.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second immobilizing means is capable of limiting the movement of the motor along the longitudinal axis.

5. The device as claimed in claim 4, wherein the second immobilizing means takes the form of at least one flexible finger.

6. The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the ring comprises a body capable of surrounding the motor and from which emerges the second immobilizing means, the latter taking the form of an abutment which extends at an angle relative to said body.

7. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first immobilizing means is capable of retaining said motor in a first direction along the longitudinal axis while the second immobilizing means is capable of limiting the movement of the motor in a second direction opposite to said first direction.

8. The device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the fastening means takes the form of an excrescence which extends from the body along the longitudinal axis and which comprises a compartment for receiving a tooth originating from the collar.

9. The device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the fastening means takes the form of an excrescence which extends from the body along the longitudinal axis, said excrescence terminating in a flat which rests against a tooth originating from the collar.

10. The device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the flat is interposed between the tooth and a guidance point originating from the collar.

11. The device as claimed in claim 9, wherein a rotary immobilizing device is provided to prevent the rotation of the ring relative to the collar.

12. The device as claimed in claim 11, wherein the rotary immobilizing device is formed by a flexible tongue originating from the ring which interacts with a notch made in the collar.

13. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ring comprises an insert means adapting dimensions of the receiving device to the dimensions of said motor.

14. The device as claimed in claim 13, wherein the insert means is a peripheral portion of the ring situated between the fastening means and the second immobilizing means.

15. The device as claimed in claim 13, wherein the insert means takes the form of at least one arm which emerges from the ring and which is capable of being inserted between said motor and said collar.

16. A motor-fan unit of a ventilation installation of a motor vehicle comprising an electric motor which actuates a propellor rotor and a support of the electric motor capable of being fastened to said installation, wherein the motor-fan unit comprises a receiving device as claimed in claim 1.

17. The motor-fan unit as claimed in claim 16, wherein said collar is connected to said motor support by at least one decoupling means.

18. The motor-fan unit as claimed in claim 17, wherein the decoupling means is a parallelepipedal block comprising a first side in direct contact with the intermediate wall, a second side in direct contact with the collar and a third side which is free extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the motor, the third side having at least one recess extending in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis.

19. A method for mounting a motor-fan unit comprising an electric motor with a longitudinal axis and a motor support in which a receiving device is housed which comprises a collar on which is formed a first immobilizing means, a ring comprising a second immobilizing means, the collar and the ring being distinct and connected to one another by at least one fastening means, comprising:

fastening the ring to the collar with the aid of the fastening means; and

inserting the electric motor into the ring previously mounted on the collar by deforming the second immobilizing means.

20. The mounting method as claimed in claim 19, wherein the step of fastening the ring on the collar is carried out in a translation parallel to the longitudinal axis.

21. The mounting method as claimed in claim 20, wherein a step of rotating the ring relative to the collar is carried out after the translation step.
