[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a water pump storage device for a cooling fan, and the water pump storage device 100 includes: a water pump bracket 110, a storage guide 120 arranged on the first end of the water pump bracket 110, and a base 130 installed on the bottom of the main unit of the cooling fan; the first end of the water pump bracket 110 is used to install the water pump 200 of the cooling fan, and the second end of the water pump bracket 110 can be rotatably arranged on the base 130 in a vertical plane through a rotating shaft 131, wherein the first end and the second end of the water pump bracket 110 are relatively distributed; the storage guide 120 protrudes away from the first end of the water pump bracket 110, and the storage guide 120 is used to push the first end of the water pump bracket 110 to rotate along the first direction until it is against the base 130 when it is squeezed downward by the main unit.

[0050] It should be noted that when the water pump 200 extends into the bottom of the water tank 300 through the water pump bracket 110 , the first end of the water pump bracket 110 refers to the bottom of the water pump bracket 110 , and the second end of the water pump bracket 110 refers to the top of the water pump bracket 110 .

[0051] Below Figure 1 The use process of the water pump storage device 100 shown is described as follows:

[0052] in Figure 1 The first direction shown is counterclockwise, and when the water tank 300 cover of the cooling fan is installed at the bottom of the host, the first end of the water pump bracket 110 can extend into the bottom of the water tank 300.

[0053] When the water tank 300 needs to be cleaned or repaired, the main unit is first removed from the water tank 300, and then lowered toward the recovery platform (e.g., the ground) for storage. In the process of lowering the main unit, the storage guide 120 first contacts the work platform, and then the main unit is lowered, and the main unit presses the storage guide 120 downward through the water pump bracket 110. Under the action of the squeezing force, the storage guide 120 pushes the water pump bracket 110 as a whole to move counterclockwise around the bottom bracket 130, so that the first end of the water pump bracket 110 rotates in a direction away from the bottom of the water tank 300 until it abuts against the bottom bracket 130, and the water pump 200 is stored.

[0054] As for the water pump storage device 100 for the cooling fan as described above, when the main unit is removed from the water tank 300 and lowered for storage, the storage guide 120 can be squeezed downward by the main unit to push the first end of the water pump bracket 110 to rotate along the first direction until it abuts against the base 130, so as to achieve the storage of the water pump 200. In this way, after the main unit is removed from the water tank 300, there is no need to remove the water pump 200, and in the process of storing the main unit, the water pump bracket 110 and the storage guide 120 can also be used to simultaneously store the water pump 200, which can reduce the user's operation intensity and operation time and improve the user experience.

[0055] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the storage guide 120 is configured as an arc plate structure. The storage guide 120 of the arc plate structure can make the first end of the water pump bracket 110 in a stable state during the rotation along the first direction without bumps, thereby improving the user experience.

[0056] Specifically in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first end of the water pump bracket 110 includes: a first side wall 111 and a second side wall 112 connected vertically, wherein the first side wall 111 extends along the length direction of the water pump bracket 110; the storage guide 120 includes: a first guide portion 121 and a second guide portion 122 connected in a smooth transition, wherein the first guide portion 121 is arranged on the first side wall 111, and the second guide portion 122 is arranged on the second side wall 112. It can be understood that when the first end of the water pump bracket 110 extends into the bottom of the water tank 300, the first guide portion 121 is distributed facing the side wall of the water tank 300, and the second guide portion 122 is distributed facing the bottom wall of the water tank 300. In this way, when the main unit is lowered, once the second side wall 112 of the first end of the water pump bracket 110 reaches the bottom of the water tank 300, the second guide portion 122 of the storage guide 120 begins to push the first end of the water pump bracket 110 to rotate along the first direction, so that the user can quickly store the main unit and the water pump 200.

[0057] Alternatively, if Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first guide portion 121 protrudes at the connection between the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112 of the water pump bracket 110 , and the second guide portion 122 protrudes at the free end of the second side wall 112 of the water pump bracket 110 .

[0058] Optionally, the first guide portion 121 and the second guide portion 122 are connected to the first end of the water pump bracket 110 in an integrated manner.

[0059] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a limiting protrusion 1311 is provided on the free end of the rotating shaft 131, and the extending direction of the limiting protrusion 1311 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the rotating shaft 131; the second end of the water pump bracket 110 has a mounting hole 110a for the rotating shaft 131 to pass through, and the wall of the mounting hole 110a is provided with a limiting through groove 110b for the limiting protrusion 1311 to pass through. It should be noted that the connecting end of the rotating shaft 131 is connected to the base 130, and the free end of the rotating shaft 131 is relatively distributed with the connecting end of the rotating shaft 131. When installing the water pump bracket 110, first align the limiting groove 110b of the water pump bracket 110 with the limiting protrusion 1311 of the rotating shaft 131, and then push the water pump bracket 110 along the direction from the free end of the rotating shaft 131 to the connecting end until the rotating shaft 131 passes through the mounting hole 110a of the water pump bracket 110 and the limiting protrusion 1311 of the rotating shaft 131 passes through the limiting groove 110b of the water pump bracket 110. After that, once the limiting protrusion 1311 and the limiting groove 110b are staggered with each other, the axial fixation of the water pump bracket 110 can be ensured.

[0060] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, the rotating shaft 131 is arranged in a horizontal plane, and an angle is formed between the central axis of the rotating shaft 131 and the central axis of the base 130 .

[0061] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, the rotating shaft 131 includes: a vertical plate, and a first curved plate and a second curved plate symmetrically distributed about the center of the vertical plate and connected to the vertical plate. The vertical plate, the first curved plate and the second curved plate extend in the same direction and are all connected to the base 130 (e.g., integrally formed). In this way, the weight of the rotating shaft 131 and the manufacturing cost of the rotating shaft 131 can be reduced.

[0062] Optionally, the limiting protrusion 1311 may be a square block structure, and the limiting through groove 110b may be a square through groove structure.

[0063] Furthermore, if Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, when the first end of the water pump bracket 110 is in the initial position, the limiting groove 110b is aligned with the limiting protrusion 1311; wherein, the initial position refers to the position of the second end of the water pump bracket 110 when the first end of the water pump bracket 110 rotates to the limit position along the first direction. It should be noted that the limit position refers to the position where the first end of the water pump bracket 110 abuts against the base 130 when the water pump bracket 110 rotates along the first direction. In this way, when the first end of the water pump bracket 110 is in the initial position, the second end of the water pump bracket 110 can be assembled with the rotating shaft 131, and then, when the water pump bracket 110 rotates along the first direction, it can be ensured that the limiting protrusion 1311 and the limiting groove 110b are always staggered with each other, thereby ensuring the axial fixation of the water pump bracket 110.

[0064] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first end of the water pump bracket 110 is configured as a box-shaped structure, and the box-shaped structure has a first opening and a second opening; when the first end of the water pump bracket 110 extends into the bottom of the water tank 300 of the cooling fan, the first opening is distributed toward the host, and the second opening is distributed toward the side wall of the water tank 300; a filter net 113 is installed at the second opening, and the filter net 113 is used to fit at the inlet of the water pump 200. In this way, the filter net 113 can filter impurities in the water to prevent impurities in the water tank 300 from being drawn into the water pump 200.

[0065] It is understandable that the water pump 200 is installed in the inner cavity of the boxed structure. The boxed structure includes: a first side wall 111 distributed along the length direction of the water pump bracket 110, a second side wall 112 vertically connected to the first side wall 111, and a third side wall and a fourth side wall vertically connected to the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112 and distributed in parallel; wherein the first side wall 111, the third side wall and the end of the fourth side wall away from the second side wall 112 cooperate to form a first opening, and the second side wall 112, the third side wall and the end of the fourth side wall away from the first side wall 111 cooperate to form a second opening.

[0066] Optionally, the filter screen 113 is connected with the second opening by snapping, which can be specifically as follows: the frame of the filter screen 113 is provided with a first slot and a second slot that are relatively distributed; the third side wall of the water pump bracket 110 is provided with a first convex edge extending toward the fourth side wall, and the first convex edge is provided with a first clamping protrusion extending toward the first side wall 111 and clamped with the first slot; the fourth side wall of the water pump bracket 110 is provided with a second convex edge extending toward the third side wall, and the second convex edge is provided with a second clamping protrusion extending toward the first side wall 111 and clamped with the second slot. Further, the third side wall of the water pump bracket 110 is provided with a first guide plate extending toward the fourth side wall, and there is a guide gap between the first guide plate and the first convex edge; the fourth side wall of the water pump bracket 110 is provided with a second guide plate extending toward the third side wall, and there is a guide gap between the second guide plate and the second convex edge. In this way, the installation of the filter screen 113 can be guided, and it can be understood that the width of the guide gap is slightly larger than the thickness of the filter screen 113.

[0067] Optionally, the water pump 200 is snap-connected with the first end of the water pump bracket 110, which can be specifically as follows: a third clamping groove and a fourth clamping groove are correspondingly provided on one end of the two relatively distributed side walls of the water pump 200 away from the second side wall 112; a third clamping protrusion extending toward the fourth side wall and clamped with the third clamping groove is provided on the third side wall of the water pump bracket 110; a fourth clamping protrusion extending toward the third side wall and clamped with the fourth clamping groove is provided on the fourth side wall of the water pump bracket 110. The third clamping protrusion and the fourth clamping protrusion can be arranged in a triangular prism structure, and the width of the triangular prism structure gradually increases from the first opening to the inner direction of the boxed structure.

[0068] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the water pump bracket 110 is provided with a groove 110c along the length direction; a plurality of clamping bosses 114 are arranged at intervals along the length direction on the wall of the groove 110c, each clamping boss 114 extends toward the central axis direction of the water pump bracket 110, and each clamping boss 114 is used to clamp the power cord and drain pipe of the water pump 200 in the groove 110c. It can be understood that the groove 110c has three openings, wherein when the water pump bracket 110 extends into the bottom of the water tank 300, the first opening of the groove 110c is distributed toward the side wall of the water tank 300, the second opening is distributed toward the bottom wall of the water tank 300, and the third opening is distributed toward the host. In this way, the clamping boss 114 can clamp the power cord and drain pipe of the water pump 200 in the groove 110c, and can prevent the power cord and drain pipe of the water pump 200 from being scratched and damaged during the process of disassembling the host or storing the water pump 200.

[0069] Optionally, the plurality of clamping bosses 114 can be divided into two groups, and the two groups of clamping bosses 114 are respectively arranged on two oppositely distributed side walls of the water pump bracket 110, and the two groups of clamping bosses 114 are alternately distributed. In this way, the power cord and the drain pipe of the water pump 200 can be effectively fixed. The number of each group of clamping bosses 114 is 2 to 4, for example, 2.

[0070] Optionally, a reinforcing boss extending toward the bottom of the slot 110c is further provided at the free end of each clamping boss 114. In this way, the reinforcing boss can improve the fixing effect of the clamping boss 114 on the power cord and the drain pipe of the water pump 200.

[0071] like Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom bracket 130 has a mounting hole 130a, and the rotating shaft 131 is arranged on the wall of the mounting hole 130a. In this way, the open area of ​​the bottom bracket 130 can be reduced, and the probability of water waves in the water tank 300 splashing into the main unit can be reduced.

[0072] Optionally, the base bracket can be fixed to the bottom of the host by screws.

[0073] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a receiving groove 130b is provided on the wall of the inner cavity of the base 130 facing away from the main unit; the water pump bracket 110 can be rotated along the first direction into the receiving groove 130b. In this way, the water pump bracket 110 can be received in the receiving groove 130b, which plays a protective role for the water pump bracket 110 and the water pump 200.

[0074] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the water pump storage device 100 also includes: a driving member 140 installed on the top of the water tank 300 of the cooling fan; when the main unit cover is installed on the water tank 300, the driving end of the driving member 140 extends into the main unit to lift the second end of the water pump bracket 110, so that the first end of the water pump bracket 110 rotates along the second direction until it is against the bottom of the water tank 300; wherein the second direction is opposite to the first direction.

[0075] like Figure 1As shown, when assembling the cooling fan, first connect the bottom bracket 130 and the main unit, the driving member 130 and the water tank 300, and the first end of the water pump bracket 110 and the water pump 200 in pairs. Then, the main unit cover is installed on the top of the water tank 300, and the driving end of the driving member 130 is inserted into the main unit to lift the second end of the water pump bracket 110, and the water pump bracket 110 as a whole moves clockwise around the bottom bracket 130, so that the first end of the water pump bracket 110 rotates in the direction close to the bottom of the water tank 300 until the first end of the water pump bracket 110 is against the bottom of the water tank 300, and the water pump 200 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 300. In this way, the user does not need to rotate the water pump bracket 110 to install the water pump 200 to the bottom of the water tank 300, which can reduce the labor intensity of the user and improve the user experience.

[0076] When the first end of the water pump bracket 110 abuts against the bottom of the water tank 300, the driving end of the driving member 140 abuts against the second end of the water pump bracket 110. Figure 1 As shown, when the water pump 200 tends to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise due to shaking, the bottom of the water tank 300 will block the first end of the water pump bracket 110 from rotating in the clockwise direction, and the driving end of the driving member 140 can block the second end of the water pump bracket 110 from rotating in the counterclockwise direction, thereby effectively fixing the water pump 200 in the bottom of the water tank 300.

[0077] Specifically in some embodiments of the present invention, Fig. 9 As shown, the driving member 140 includes: a mounting frame 141 mounted on the top of the water tank 300 and a driving protrusion 142 disposed on the mounting frame 141; the driving protrusion 142 extends toward the central axis of the water tank 300, and the driving protrusion 142 can pass through the bottom bracket 130 and extend into the main unit. It can be understood that the driving protrusion 142 is the driving end of the driving member 140.

[0078] Optionally, the mounting frame 141 can be snap-connected with the water tank 300, which can be specifically: a plurality of fifth snap-in slots are arranged at intervals around the top of the water tank 300, and a plurality of fifth clamping protrusions are arranged at intervals around the mounting frame 141, and each fifth clamping protrusion is clamped with the corresponding fifth snap-in slot. The number of the fifth clamping protrusions and the fifth snap-in slots can be seven.

[0079] Optionally, the mounting frame 141 may be snap-connected to the base 113 .

[0080] Optionally, the driving protrusion 142 may extend into the mainframe through the mounting hole 130a of the base 130 (see Figure 2 ).

[0081] Furthermore, if Fig. 9As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, at least one anti-wave protrusion 143 is provided on the inner side of the mounting frame 141, and at least one anti-wave protrusion 143 extends toward the central axis of the water tank 300. In this way, the anti-wave protrusion 143 can prevent water from overflowing from the water tank or splashing into the host due to shaking and splashing in the water tank, thereby damaging related equipment.

[0082] Optionally, the number of the wave-breaking protrusions 143 can be set to 5, and these 5 wave-breaking protrusions 143 are connected end to end and distributed around the installation frame 141.

[0083] Furthermore, if Fig. 9 As shown, any wave-proof protrusion 143 is arranged at the corner of the mounting frame 141, and the driving protrusion 142 is arranged on the inner side of any wave-proof protrusion 143. In this way, the water pump bracket 110 can be stored in the diagonal part of the bottom bracket 130, which can increase the storage space of the bottom bracket 130 for the water pump bracket 110.

[0084] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, another embodiment of the present invention further provides a cooling fan, which includes: the water pump storage device 100 described above, as well as a main unit, a water pump 200 and a water tank 300; the base 130 of the water pump storage device 100 is arranged on the bottom of the main unit; the main unit cover is installed on the top of the water tank 300; the water pump 200 extends into the bottom of the water tank 300 through the water pump bracket 110 of the water pump storage device 100.

[0085] For the cooling fan as described above, when the main unit is removed from the water tank 300 and lowered for storage, the storage guide 120 of the water pump storage device 100 can be squeezed downward by the main unit to push the first end of the water pump bracket 110 to rotate along the first direction until it abuts against the base 130, so as to achieve the storage of the water pump 200. In this way, after the main unit is removed from the water tank 300, there is no need to remove the water pump 200, and in the process of storing the main unit, the water pump bracket 110 and the storage guide 120 can also be used to simultaneously store the water pump 200, which can reduce the user's operation intensity and operation time and improve the user experience.

[0086] Specifically in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a positioning groove 300a is provided on the bottom of the water tank 300; when the first end of the water pump bracket 110 vertically extends into the bottom of the water tank 300, the first end of the water pump bracket 110 abuts against the side wall of the positioning groove 300a. In this way, it can be ensured that the length of the water pump bracket 110 is the shortest under the premise that the second end of the water pump bracket 110 extends into the bottom of the water tank 300.

[0087] Optionally, the positioning groove 300a may be a cross-shaped structure, and the intersection of the cross-shaped structure is located in a vertical plane where the central axis of the water tank 300 is located.

[0088] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0089] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
