Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0036] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a brushless fan structure includes: a moving impeller 1, a housing 2, a drive assembly, and a socket 3. The moving impeller 1 and the drive assembly are disposed inside the housing 2. The moving impeller 1 is connected to one end of the drive assembly, and the socket 3 is disposed on one side of the housing 2 and connected to the other end of the drive assembly.
[0037] The drive assembly includes: a bearing 4, a stator base 5, a rotating shaft 6, a magnet 7, and an iron core 8. The stator base 5 is inserted into the housing 2, and the iron core 8 is disposed inside the stator base 5. A wire frame 9 for winding coils is provided on the inner wall of the iron core 8. The wire socket 3 is connected to the coil wound on the wire frame 9. One end of the rotating shaft 6 passes through the iron core 8, and the other end of the rotating shaft 6 passes through the bearing 4 disposed inside the stator base 5 and is connected to the moving impeller 1. The magnet 7 is disposed on the rotating shaft 6 at a position inside the iron core 8.
[0038] like Figure 3-5As shown, the housing 2 is cylindrical, and a first fixing sleeve 21 and guide vanes 22 are provided inside the housing 2. The first fixing sleeve 21 is coaxially arranged with the housing 2. A plurality of guide vanes 22 are arranged in a circular array with the axis of the first fixing sleeve 21 as the center. One end of the guide vane 22 is connected to the outer wall of the first fixing sleeve 21, and the other end of the guide vane 22 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 2. Each guide vane 22 is inclined according to the principle of fluid mechanics. The first fixing sleeve 21 is used to cooperate with the stator seat 5. The guide vanes 22 play a guiding role for the airflow.
[0039] like Figure 5-7 As shown, the guide vane 22 is airfoil-shaped, the length of the guide vane 22 is L, and the thickness of the guide vane 22 is at 0.47L. This can reduce the separation phenomenon of airflow passing through the guide vane 22 and reduce the risk of generating eddies, reduce the turbulence and eddies of gas in the air duct, minimize airflow loss, effectively reduce airflow noise, and improve the overall performance of the fan.
[0040] like Figure 8 As shown, the stator base 5 includes: a second fixing sleeve 51, a support arm 52, and a support ring 53. The second fixing sleeve 51 is inserted into the first fixing sleeve 21. The second fixing sleeve 51 and the support ring 53 are coaxially arranged. One end of the plurality of support arms 52 is connected to the second fixing sleeve 51, and the other end of the support arm 52 is connected to the support ring 53. The second fixing sleeve 51, the support arm 52, and the support ring 53 together constitute a cage-like structure for accommodating the iron core 8.
[0041] like Figure 8 As shown, the outer wall of the second fixing sleeve 51 is provided with a plurality of first grooves 511 for assisting in airflow. When the second fixing sleeve 51 is inserted into the first fixing sleeve 21, the outer wall of the second fixing sleeve 51 is in close contact with the inner wall of the first fixing sleeve 21. The first grooves 511 and the inner wall of the first fixing sleeve 21 form an auxiliary air channel, allowing airflow to pass through and carry away the heat of the iron core 8, thereby dissipating heat from the iron core 8 inside the stator base 5. To ensure a stable connection, the first fixing sleeve 21 and the second fixing sleeve 51 are fitted with an interference fit.
[0042] like Figure 8-9 As shown, the inner wall of the support arm 52 is provided with a limiting protrusion 521 that cooperates with the iron core 8, and the outer wall of the iron core 8 is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 81 that cooperate with the limiting protrusion 521. Figure 9As shown, when the iron core 8 is inserted into the stator base 5, the limiting protrusion 521 on the support arm 52 is located within the limiting groove 81 of the iron core 8, fixing the iron core 8 and preventing it from shaking, effectively increasing the stability of the iron core 8. In this embodiment, there are three support arms 52 and three limiting grooves 81, which are equally spaced on the outer wall of the iron core 8. In other embodiments, the number of support arms 52 and limiting grooves 81 is multiple, without specific limitation.
[0043] like Figure 8 As shown, the support ring 53 has multiple riveting grooves 531 at positions corresponding to the upper limit groove 81 of the iron core 8, used to rivet the stator base 5 to the iron core 8. When the stator base 5 and the iron core 8 are engaged, the support ring 53 is riveted and fixed to the upper limit groove 81 on the iron core 8 by pressing the riveting grooves 531, thus fixing the iron core 8 in the stator base 5. The multi-point riveting between the iron core 8 and the stator base 5 can prevent displacement when the motor operates at high temperatures for a long time, making the positioning more reliable.
[0044] like Figure 8 , 10 As shown, a lug 522 is provided on the outer wall of the support arm 52. One end of the lug 522 is connected to the outer wall of the support arm 52, and the other end of the lug 522 abuts against the inner wall of the housing 2. The lug 522 serves two purposes: firstly, it diverts the airflow from the air duct outlet to maintain the airflow speed; secondly, it contacts the housing 2 to provide support, ensuring that the motor will not loosen or shift due to vibration, heat, or other factors after assembly, thus enhancing product stability.
[0045] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the bearing 4 is disposed within the second fixed sleeve 51, and the rotating shaft 6 passes through the bearing 4 located within the second fixed sleeve 51 and is connected to the moving impeller 1. The bearing 4 can be a conventional bearing, preferably a T-type high-speed bearing, and the second fixed sleeve 51 has a stepped hole adapted to the bearing 4.
[0046] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the rotating shaft 6 is also provided with a positioning sleeve 61 for accurately positioning the magnet 7 inside the iron core 8. The positioning sleeve 61 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 6 and located between the bearing 4 and the magnet 7, so that the magnet 7 on the rotating shaft 6 is aligned with the wire frame 9, ensuring that the permanent magnetic field and the electromagnetic field are reasonably matched.
[0047] like Figure 5As shown, the first fixed sleeve 21 is provided with a first positioning groove 211 on the side near the stator seat 5 to adapt to the position of the support arm 52. The first positioning groove 211 cooperates with the support arm 52 to guide the stator seat 5 to be accurately assembled with the housing 2, ensuring the fan's centering requirements under high-speed operation, ensuring that the motor will not be displaced when running at high speed, and increasing the reliability of the product.
[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, the first fixed sleeve 21 is provided with a first flange 212 on the side away from the stator base 5 for limiting the second fixed sleeve 51. The first flange 212 is provided with a second positioning groove 213. The end face of the second fixed sleeve 51 near the first fixed sleeve 21 is provided with a positioning protrusion 512 that matches the shape of the inner wall of the first flange 212, which can more accurately allow the stator base 5 to dock with the housing 2.
[0049] like Figure 11 As shown, the impeller 1 includes a hub 11 and a plurality of blades 12 disposed on the hub 11. The hub 11 is connected to the rotating shaft 6. The windward surface of the hub 11 is arc-shaped to reduce the air intake resistance.
[0050] like Figure 1 , 10 As shown, the socket 3 is connected to the coil wound on the wire frame 9. When the socket 3 is energized, the coil is energized to form an electromagnetic field, which drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate.
[0051] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the various parts of the brushless fan can be mechanically positioned and assembled individually through mechanical cooperation. Compared with similar products, this reduces material loss during assembly, improves production efficiency, and allows for individual testing after simple connection. Only qualified parts can proceed to the next process without scrapping other components, thus saving energy. Connections are no longer made using glue, but rather through interference fits or riveting, eliminating the need for adhesive bonding. Compared with similar products, there is no need to wait for glue to dry during production, making automated production easier. The stator base adopts a cage-like structure and is equipped with a first groove to facilitate airflow, allowing the iron core to effectively dissipate heat, solving the problem of difficult heat dissipation in existing motors. It also improves the airflow environment, forming a contraction space at the airflow outlet, reducing eddy current formation, improving motor efficiency, and reducing heat loss.
