AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When disassembly, the fan is still in a working state due to inertia, which can easily damage the disassembly personnel. The direct design of protective parts will hinder the fan body from inlet or supplying air through the opening of the shell, making the cooling efficiency poor.

Method used

A fan is designed, including a housing, a fan body and a protective component. The protective component includes a movable protective curtain and an adapter. Through the fan removal or installation action, the protective curtain moves to different positions of the housing to realize the cover or opening of the opening to protect the fan body and maintain the cooling efficiency of the fan.

Benefits of technology

Effectively protect the fan body from damage during disassembly, improve safety factor, and avoid protective parts from hindering the fan body from inlet or supplying air through the opening of the shell, maintaining cooling efficiency.
