[0021] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0022] In order to solve the problem that the water pump in the water cooling fan in the prior art is inconvenient to store and assemble, the present invention provides a water pump storage device and a water cooling fan.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 A water pump storage device is arranged in a water-cooling fan to fix a water pump, and the water pump storage device includes: a connecting rod assembly 10, the connecting rod assembly 10 is telescopically arranged on a body assembly 30 of the water-cooling fan; a storage box 20, the storage box 20 is connected to the connecting rod assembly 10 to be movably connected to the body assembly 30 through the connecting rod assembly 10, wherein the storage box 20 is used to install the water pump.

[0024] The water pump storage device of the present invention is mainly used in water-cooling fans. The structure of the water-cooling fan is generally an upper body component 30 and a lower water tank 60. The water pump draws water from the water tank 60, converts it into water vapor, and then blows it out through the fan in the body component 30. The water pump storage device is used to hold the water pump. The water pump is arranged in the storage box 20 and is connected to the body component 30 through the connecting rod assembly 10. During transportation, the water tank 60 is separated from the body component 30. At this time, the storage box 20 is extended and retracted relative to the body component 30 through the connecting rod assembly 10 to reduce the space occupied by the entire device, while preventing the water pump storage device and the water pump from being damaged, thereby solving the problem that the water pump is inconvenient to store and assemble after the body component 30 and the water tank 60 of the water-cooling fan are separated.

[0025] In the present invention, the connecting rod assembly 10 can be telescopically arranged on the body assembly 30 in two forms. One is that a telescopic hole is provided on the body assembly 30, and the connecting rod assembly 10 can be movably inserted into the telescopic hole to be retracted or extended. The other is that the connecting rod assembly 10 itself can be retracted, thereby driving the water pump storage box 20 to retract.

[0026] In addition, the shrinkage can also be performed in the form of a combination of the above two methods.

[0027] The connecting rod assembly 10 includes a plurality of sleeves 11 , which are nested and connected in sequence to be telescopically arranged along the extension direction of the connecting rod assembly 10 .

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting rod assembly 10 adopts a telescopic tube, which is composed of a plurality of sleeves 11 connected in a sleeve manner and can be retracted and unfolded, similar to an antenna.

[0029] There are two connecting rod assemblies 10 , which are respectively disposed on two sides of the storage box 20 , wherein at least one of the two connecting rod assemblies 10 is rotatably connected to the storage box 20 .

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the two connecting rod assemblies 10 in this embodiment form a V-shaped structure, with the upper ends respectively connected to the body assembly 30, and the lower ends connected to the storage box 20. In order to change the connection angle of the two connecting rod assemblies 10 while extending and retracting, one connecting rod assembly 10 is fixedly connected to the storage box 20, and the other connecting rod assembly 10 is rotatably connected to the storage box 20, so that the V-shaped structure can be opened or folded to further raise or lower the water pump.

[0031] The water pump storage device further includes: a slide rail 40, which is arranged on the body assembly 30, one end of the connecting rod assembly 10 is connected to the storage box 20, and the other end of the connecting rod assembly 10 is movably arranged on the slide rail 40, and the two connecting rod assemblies 10 move relatively close to or away from each other to drive the storage box 20 to move closer to or away from the body assembly 30. A sliding sleeve 50 is arranged between the connecting rod assembly 10 and the slide rail 40, and the sliding sleeve 50 is sleeved on the slide rail 40 to drive the connecting rod assembly 10 to move along the slide rail 40. The connecting rod assembly 10 is rotatably connected to the sliding sleeve 50.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a horizontal slide rail 40 is set below the body assembly 30, and the connecting rod assembly 10 is horizontally moved on the slide rail 40 through the sliding sleeve 50. When the storage box 20 is forced to move upward, the two sliding sleeves 50 move toward the two ends of the slide rail 40 and gradually separate, so that the storage box 20 moves closer to the body assembly 30.

[0033] One of the two connecting rod assemblies 10 is integrally formed with the storage box 20 , and the other of the two connecting rod assemblies 10 is hinged to the storage box 20 .

[0034] In order to firmly fix the storage box 20, the storage box 20 and a connecting rod assembly 10 are integrally formed or welded. In addition, in order to enable the two connecting rod assemblies 10 to rotate relative to each other to drive the storage box 20 to rise and fall, the other connecting rod assembly 10 and the storage box 20 are hinged. When the storage box 20 moves up or down, the connecting rod assembly 10 rotates relative to the storage box 20.

[0035] There are two connecting rod assemblies 10, and the two connecting rod assemblies 10 are respectively arranged on both sides of the storage box 20, wherein the storage box 20 includes a first box body 21 and a second box body 22, and the first box body 21 and the second box body 22 are respectively arranged at the same end of the two connecting rod assemblies 10, and the first box body 21 and the second box body 22 are rotatably connected.

[0036] According to one embodiment, the storage box 20 is divided into two parts, which are hinged together. The two parts are respectively connected to two connecting rod assemblies 10, and after docking, the storage box 20 as a whole is formed to hold the water pump.

[0037] The present invention also provides a water-cooling fan, comprising a water tank 60, a fuselage assembly 30 and a water pump storage device, wherein the water tank 60 is detachably connected to the fuselage assembly 30, and the water pump storage device is disposed in the water tank 60 and connected to the fuselage assembly 30, wherein the water pump storage device is the above-mentioned water pump storage device. The water tank 60 is a retractable structure.

[0038] The water-cooling fan of the present invention has a body assembly 30 on its upper portion, a fan is provided inside the body assembly 30, a water tank 60 is provided below the body assembly 30, and the water tank 60 is snap-connected to the body assembly 30 so that it can be easily removed during transportation or storage, and then the water tank 60 can be put on the body assembly 30 to save space.

[0039] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0040] The present invention provides a sliding and retractable water pump storage structure, including a rotating latch, a sliding connecting rod assembly 10, a water pump storage box 20, a sliding sleeve 50, etc. The sliding and retractable water pump storage structure cooperates with the sliding sleeve 50 and the sliding rod. When the water pump storage box 20 is squeezed by force, the sliding connecting rod assembly 10 rotates with the rotating latch as the central axis under the action of the force to achieve the upward movement of the water pump storage box 20. When the external force is eliminated, the water pump storage box 20 returns to the starting position under the action of gravity, thereby achieving a sliding and retractable water pump storage structure. This storage device can realize the corresponding required functions under the premise of greatly saving the structural space, and the simple structure greatly improves the assembly efficiency.

[0041] Compared with the traditional water pump storage structure, this structure has better reliability and stability; users can ensure the stability of the water pump storage device during long-term use, which is conducive to improving user experience and the life of the entire machine.
