DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to explain the technical content, structural features, achieved objectives and effects of the technical solution in detail, the following is a detailed description in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 9 This embodiment provides a vibration isolation fan, the fan comprising:

[0034] Fan blade 1;

[0035] The frame 5 has a mounting portion 53 in the middle thereof. The mounting portion 53 has an annular outer wall 531, an annular inner wall 532, and a plurality of hooks 6. An annular mounting groove 533 is formed between the annular outer wall 531 and the annular inner wall 532. The plurality of hooks 6 are located adjacent to the annular mounting groove 533.

[0036] A drive assembly 2, comprising a motor 22 and a motor base 21, wherein the motor 22 is disposed on the motor base 21 and connected to the fan blade 1 for driving the fan blade 1 to rotate, and the motor base 21 is engaged with the plurality of hooks 6; and

[0037] Shock-absorbing pad 4, the shock-absorbing pad 4 is sleeved on the motor seat 21, the motor seat 21 presses the shock-absorbing pad 4 on the bottom of the annular mounting groove 533, the outer wall of the shock-absorbing pad 4 contacts the annular outer wall 531, and the inner wall of the shock-absorbing pad 4 contacts the annular inner wall 532. The structure is as follows Figure 7 and Figure 9 shown.

[0038] Optionally, there are four hooks 6, symmetrically distributed around the annular mounting groove 533. The hook portion 62 of the hook 6 is elastic, and the motor base 21 can be connected to the hook 6 by pressing it toward the hook 6. The support arm 61 of the hook 6 can limit the position of the motor base 21, so that the frame 5 can better fix the motor base 21. The motor 22 is located in the groove 13, and the shaft 12 passes through the center of the stator 224. The connecting sleeve 211 on the motor base 21 is sleeved on the shaft 12. This sleeve arrangement makes the fan structure more compact and more convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0039] The motor 22 drives the fan blades 1 to rotate. Due to the centrifugal force, the fan blades 1 will deviate to the surroundings and collide with the frame 5, thereby generating vibration, which reduces the structural stability of the fan. By arranging a shock-absorbing pad 4 between the frame 5 and the motor base 21, the vibration intensity can be effectively weakened, the stability of the fan can be improved, and the service life of the fan can be increased.

[0040] See also Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 9In this embodiment, the shock-absorbing pad 4 is annular and has an annular groove 41 on one side of the shock-absorbing pad 4 facing the motor base 21. The motor base 21 is provided with an annular protrusion 212. The shock-absorbing pad 4 is sleeved onto the annular protrusion 212 of the motor base 21 via the annular groove 41. This sleeve arrangement allows the shock-absorbing pad 4 and the motor base 21 to fit tightly together, effectively reducing vibration. In some embodiments, the annular groove 41 on the shock-absorbing pad 4 and the annular protrusion 212 on the motor base 21 can be interchangeable, i.e., the annular protrusion 212 is provided on the shock-absorbing pad 4, while the annular groove 41 is provided on the motor base 21.

[0041] See also Figure 5 In this embodiment, the shock-absorbing pad 4 is a rubber pad. The rubber pad is low in production cost, easy to obtain, and has a high shock-absorbing effect, and can effectively absorb the vibration generated by the fan blade 1.

[0042] See also Figure 3 In this embodiment, the bottom of the annular mounting groove 533 is provided with through holes 534 that extend through both sides of the frame 5. When the shock-absorbing pad 4 absorbs the vibrations generated by the fan blade 1, it accumulates heat. If this heat cannot be dissipated in a timely manner, the shock-absorbing effect of the shock-absorbing pad 4 will be affected over time. By providing through holes 534 at the bottom of the annular mounting groove 533, the heat on the shock-absorbing pad 4 can be dissipated in a timely manner, thereby maintaining a good shock-absorbing effect.

[0043] See also Figure 3 In this embodiment, the annular outer wall 531 has a plurality of cutouts 535, with a plurality of hooks 6 disposed within the cutouts 535. The hooks 6 include an arm 61 and a hook portion 62. The arm 61 is elastic and can bend under force to achieve a snap-fit ​​connection. One end of the arm 61 is connected to the bottom of the cutout 535, and the other end of the arm 61 is connected to the hook portion 62. The annular outer wall 531 surrounds the motor base 21 to retain the motor base 21 in position. The hooks 6 and annular outer wall 531 are integrally molded from plastic, making manufacturing easy. The hook portions 62 of the hooks 6 engage the motor base 21, allowing the motor base 21 to tightly press the shock-absorbing pad 4 into the annular mounting groove 533, effectively preventing the motor base from loosening and facilitating assembly. Furthermore, during fan operation, the annular outer wall 531 limits displacement of the motor base 21, thereby reducing vibration.

[0044] See also Figure 3 In this embodiment, the cutout 535 exposes the shock-absorbing pad 4. When the fan operates at high speed, it generates strong vibrations that may exceed the energy absorption limit of the shock-absorbing pad 4 at some point. The cutout 535 exposes the shock-absorbing pad 4, increasing its deformation space and allowing the shock-absorbing pad 4 to release excess energy through its own deformation.

[0045] See also Figure 2 In this embodiment, the frame 5 further includes an outer frame 51 and a connector 52. The outer frame 51 has a hollow area 511 for accommodating the fan blades 1. The sidewalls of the hollow area 511 are connected to the mounting portion 53 via the connector 52. The mounting portion 53 is centrally located within the hollow area 511. The central location of the mounting portion 53 prevents vibration imbalance caused by a shift in the center of gravity, ensures uniform pressure on the shock-absorbing pad 4, and thereby improves the vibration isolation effect of the fan.

[0046] See also Figure 7 In this embodiment, the fan blade 1 includes a hub 14 and a rotating shaft 12, a groove 13 is provided in the middle of the hub 14, and one end of the rotating shaft 12 is connected to the center of the groove 13, and the motor 22 includes a magnetic ring 222, a magnet 223, and a stator 224, the magnetic ring 222 is sleeved in the groove 13, the magnet 223 is sleeved in the magnetic ring 222, and the stator 224 is located in the magnet 223, the sleeve 221 passes through the stator 224 and is sleeved on the rotating shaft 12, and the rotating shaft 12 can rotate relative to the sleeve 221, and a connecting sleeve 221 is provided in the middle of the motor base 21, the connecting sleeve 221 passes through the stator 224 and is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 12, and the stator 224 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 221. The magnetic ring 222 is fixedly connected to the groove 13 to serve as a fixed base for the magnet 223, ensuring that the magnet 223 can fit tightly with the fan blade 1. The stator 224 is located inside the magnet 223 and is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 221. When powered, it drives the magnet 223 to rotate, thereby driving the fan blade 1 to rotate.

[0047] Optionally, a sleeve 221 is provided between the rotating shaft 12 and the connecting sleeve 221, and the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 221 is sleeved with the sleeve 221. The sleeve 221 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 12, and the connecting sleeve 221 is sleeved on the sleeve 221. This can ensure that the rotating shaft 12 rotates in the center, avoid eccentric vibration, ensure that the shock-absorbing pad 4 is evenly compressed, and enhance the vibration isolation effect of the shock-absorbing pad 4.

[0048] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the drive assembly 2 further includes a circuit board 3. The stator 224 has an annular cylindrical wall 225, and the circuit board 3 is sleeved and welded to the stator 224. An annular bayonet 32 ​​is provided in the middle of the circuit board 3. The circuit board 3 is sleeved on the annular cylindrical wall 225 of the stator 224 through the annular bayonet 32 ​​and is welded to the stator 224. In other embodiments, the circuit board 3 is threadedly connected to the stator 224. Specifically, the circuit board 3 and the stator 224 have mutually matching threaded holes, and the circuit board 3 and the stator 224 are connected by bolts screwed into the threaded holes.
