The invention relates to a cooling fan for a cooling system of the internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, the cooling fan comprising at least one frame () for retaining a fan motor and a fan motor () for driving a fan wheel (). The invention is characterized in that at least one motor casing component of the fan motor () is injection-molded into the frame material and/or is coated by said material by injection molding when the frame () is formed. The invention also relates to a method for producing said cooling fan. The method according to the invention is characterized in that at least one motor casing of the fan motor () is injection-molded into the frame material and/or is coated by said material by injection molding when the frame () is formed.

Cooling fan and method for producing a cooling fan

An electronic module for a fan of an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle comprising at least one deformable element (), which when deformed can engage with a part () of the fan in a detachable manner, and at least one rigid projecting retaining element (), which can be inserted in a direction of insertion into a receptacle () or opening () of a fan frame () before the deformable element () engages, wherein after the retaining element () is inserted into the receptacle () or opening (), the electronic module () is movable with a single degree of freedom different from the direction of insertion in order to bring the deformable element () into engagement with the fan frame.
