Thereby, during the rotation of the fan wheel, the multiple transparent blades can cooperate with the multiple light-emitting components to produce a visual effect of light projection, so as to increase the variability of the glare of the heat dissipation fan. An embodiment similar to the existing heat dissipation fan has been disclosed in the patent case of Taiwan Announcement No. M240610 "DC Fan with Glare Effect".
[0004] However, since the plurality of light-emitting components of the conventional cooling fan are arranged within the rotation range of the fan wheel, when the plurality of transparent blades are rotating, the light generated by the plurality of light-emitting components penetrates through the plurality of transparent blades and scatters outward. If the user directly observes the appearance of the cooling fan, the light-emitting range of the plurality of light-emitting components is only in the central part of the cooling fan. Therefore, in view of the ever-changing novelty mentality of consumers, the visual effect of the glare generated by the cooling fan still has room for improvement.
[0005] In view of this, the existing heat dissipation fans still need to be improved. Summary of the invention

Thus, the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, and has the effect of reducing the manufacturing cost.
[0020] The light averaging ring may have an outer end surface opposite to the plane, and the outer end surface may be adjacent to an air inlet or an air outlet of the fan frame. In this way, the light generated by the multiple light emitting components can pass through the two light averaging rings and form an outer diffuse emission, which has the effect of presenting different states of glare visual effects.

[0033] The fan of the present invention may further include a plurality of buffers, which may be combined with the fan frame and may be higher than the light balancing ring in the axial direction. In this way, when the fan wheel rotates, the vibration force can be prevented from being transmitted to the outside of the fan, which has the effect of providing a better shock absorption effect.

The planes 41 of the two light averaging rings 4 are respectively connected to the two axial end surfaces 121 and 122 of the ring wall 12. In this embodiment, the two planes 41 are directly abutted against the two axial end surfaces 121 and 122 respectively, and the two outer end surfaces 42 are respectively in contact with the two planes 41. Yes, the two outer end surfaces 42 are respectively adjacent to the air inlet 14 and the air outlet 15 of the fan frame 1, and the two outer end surfaces 42 adjacent to the inner wall portion 12a can be closer to the axial end surfaces 121, 122, and the two outer end surfaces 42 adjacent to the outer wall portion 12b can be farther away from the axial end surfaces 121, 122, so that the two outer end surfaces 42 can form an inclined guide surface. In addition to improving the smoothness of the guide when the airflow passes through the air inlet 14 and the air outlet 15, the light generated by the multiple light-emitting components 322 can easily pass through the two equilibrating rings 4 and scatter out.
[0117] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the outer circumference of the two light-averaging rings 4 may also have a groove 43 respectively, and the side profile of the two light-averaging rings 4 may be roughly C-shaped. The groove 43 may have a first groove wall 43a and a second groove wall 43b opposite to each other, and the first groove wall 43a is closer to the plane 41 than the second groove wall 43b. The two light-averaging rings 4 may respectively have a plurality of light-guiding ribs 44, and the plurality of light-guiding ribs 44 may connect the first groove wall 43a and the second groove wall 43b.

In this way, when the light generated by the light-emitting group 3 is irradiated on the plane 41 of the averaging ring 4, different visual effects can be produced by virtue of the different predetermined thicknesses T of the averaging ring 4.
[0119] In other embodiments, the light averaging ring 4 may not have the groove 43. For example, the light averaging ring 4 may be as follows: Fig.11 The predetermined thickness T may be between the maximum height H1 and the minimum height H2, or Fig.13 As shown, the entire structure is filled solidly and the outer end surface 42 is parallel to the plane 41 . The predetermined thickness T may be equal to the maximum height H1 and the minimum height H2 of the uniform light ring 4 , which is not limited by the present invention.
[0120] In addition, the light-distributing ring 4 may have a plurality of second combining portions 45, and the plurality of second combining portions 45 may be respectively combined with the plurality of first combining portions 13. The plurality of second combining portions 45 are based on the principle of being able to match and combine with the plurality of first combining portions 13. The present invention does not limit the shape of the plurality of second combining portions 45. In the present embodiment, each second combining portion 45 may be a cutout extending from the plane 41 to the first groove wall 43a of the groove 43. Each first combining portion 13 is clamped against the first groove wall 43a, so that the light-distributing ring 4 can be firmly combined with the fan frame 1.

[0122] Please refer to Figure 5As shown, the ring wall 12 is arranged around the fan wheel 2, the light-emitting group 3 is located between the inner wall portion 12a and the outer wall portion 12b of the ring wall 12, and the light generated by the light-emitting group 3 can be irradiated on the plane 41 of the light-evening ring 4, so that the light generated by the light-emitting group 3 can generate glare from at least two sides extending from the predetermined thickness of the light-evening ring 4, so as to present glare visual effects in different states. At the same time, the multiple light-guiding ribs 44 of the light-evening ring 4, which are closer to the end of the light-emitting group 3, can be located opposite to the light-emitting component 32, so that the light generated by the light-emitting component 32 of the light-emitting group 3 can be scattered out through the surroundings of the light-guiding ribs 44, so as to present a multi-directional glare effect.
[0123] In addition, the plurality of illuminants 6 can be disposed on the circuit board 5 and axially aligned with the bottom ring 213 of the hub 21, and the cover 23 can abut against the top of the hub 21, so that the light generated by the plurality of illuminants 6 can be indirectly projected through the bottom ring 213 and the shell 212, and through the plurality of blades 22. In this way, when the fan wheel 2 rotates, in addition to helping to dissipate heat, the light generated by the plurality of illuminants 6 can produce a rotating glare effect like a halo or different light colors.
[0124] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, it is also explained that the fan of the present invention may further include a plurality of buffer members X, which are preferably made of elastic materials such as rubber or silicone. The plurality of buffer members X can be combined with the fan frame 1, for example, by means of screws or gluing. The plurality of buffer members X can be respectively located at the plurality of corners R, and the plurality of buffer members X can be higher than the uniform ring 4 in the axial direction; in this way, when the fan wheel 2 rotates, the plurality of buffer members X can provide a shock-absorbing effect to prevent the vibration force from being transmitted to the outside of the fan.

The plurality of light-guiding ribs 44 of the light-evening ring 4 at one end closer to the light-emitting group 3 can be aligned with the light-emitting component 32. Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the predetermined thickness T is the junction from the axial alignment of the light-emitting component 32 to the upper edge of the light-guiding rib 44, and extends from the entire plane 41 to the entire thickness of the light-guiding rib 44. Thus, when the light generated by the light-emitting component 32 is irradiated on the plane 41 of the light-evening ring 4, it can be scattered around the light-guiding rib 44 to present a multi-directional glare effect.
[0126] Please refer to Fig.16, Fig.17 , Fig.18 As shown, it is the third embodiment of the motor of the present invention. The two light-equalizing rings 4 can respectively have a light-guiding protrusion 46, and the light-guiding protrusion 46 can be connected to the plane 41 and extend toward the direction of the light-emitting component 32.

The light-guiding protrusion 46 can be a ring shape formed by a plurality of cylinders arranged at intervals, or a single ring. In the present embodiment, the light-guiding protrusion 46 is illustrated as a single ring. The light-guiding protrusion 46 can extend between the inner wall portion 12a and the outer wall portion 12b, so that the plurality of light-emitting components 32 can be closer to the light-guiding protrusion 46, so that the light generated by the light-emitting component 32 can pass through the light-guiding protrusion 46 and be scattered through the predetermined thickness T of the light-equalizing ring 4, so as to present different glare visual effects.
