Traditional cooling systems typically employ discrete designs, with separate components for the radiator bracket, fan mounts, sensor mounting structure, and wiring harness management.

[0008] Furthermore, the fan is connected in series with a temperature sensor, and a probe of the temperature sensor is limited in the middle of the connector.

[0010] Furthermore, the circuits of the fan and the temperature sensor are limited on the hook portion of the second limiting end, and the hook portion of the second limiting end is an elastic structure that can clamp the circuit and limit its movement.

[0011] Furthermore, authenticity identification is achieved based on the laser holographic film layer, temperature-variable ink layer and encrypted QR code in the anti-counterfeiting area at the center of the fan hub.

[0012] Furthermore, the anti-counterfeiting area integrates a bottom laser holographic film layer, a middle temperature-variable ink layer and a surface transparent UV coating, and the temperature-variable ink layer displays the production batch code when the temperature exceeds 60°C.

[0013] Furthermore, the laser holographic film layer is embossed with a brand LOGO and a hollow destruction display area, and the encrypted QR code is integrated with the anti-counterfeiting area through UV printing technology.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments: Example

[0018] The following will be combined Figure 1-5, respectively, the method and connector provided by the embodiment of the present invention are described. Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of a combination method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method can be applied to the connection between a fan 1 and a heat sink 2. The method provided by an embodiment of the present invention can include the following steps 101 to 103, and the order of steps 101 to 103 can be adjusted arbitrarily.

[0019] 101. Connect fans in series based on the second connection portion in the connector.

[0020] The component connection surface of the connector 3 includes a second connection portion 32 at each of the four corners. The second connection portion 32 is used to connect to a fan.

[0021] The second connecting portion 32 is a cylindrical mounting male head, corresponding to the mounting holes 11 on the four corners of the fan 1. During assembly, the mounting holes 11 on one side of the fan 1 are limited in the second connecting portion 32, and two fans 1 can be fixed on one connecting member 3.

[0022] The fan 1's hub features a circular anti-counterfeiting zone 12, located on the non-rotating surface at the center. This zone is integrally molded with the hub via in-mold labeling. The zone comprises three layers: a bottom layer of laser holographic film, die-cast with the brand logo and logo; a hollowed-out area disrupts the display when the film is removed; a middle layer of temperature-sensitive ink, made of spiropyran compounds, reveals the hidden production batch code when the fan 1's operating temperature exceeds 60°C; and a top layer of transparent UV coating, upon which an encrypted QR code is printed.

[0023] In this solution, the fan 1 significantly improves the product's anti-counterfeiting capability and brand value through structural optimization, composite anti-counterfeiting technology and process innovation without affecting the original heat dissipation performance.

[0024] One connector 3 can simultaneously connect two fans 1 in series, and the number of fans 1 connected in series is adjusted according to actual conditions. Preferably, each fan 1 is connected to a connector 3 on both sides. Under such a structural setting, the vibration transmission of the fan 1 during operation can be reduced, reducing noise.

[0025] During the operation of the fan 1, the temperature of the fan 1 needs to be detected. The fan 1 is connected in series with a temperature sensor 2, and the probe of the temperature sensor 2 is limited in the middle of the connector 3. Specifically, the temperature sensor 2 is limited on the first limiting end 33 and is directly exposed to the air through the opening of the first limiting end 33.

[0026] The first limiting end 33 fixes the temperature sensor 2 while ensuring that the probe of the temperature sensor 2 is naturally exposed to the airflow without the need for additional holes or position adjustments, thereby preventing the structural strength or detection accuracy of the temperature sensor 2 from being affected.

[0027] In the structural setting of this solution, by providing a second connecting portion 32 and a first limiting end 33, the function of a fixing member 100 to simultaneously fix the fan 1 and the temperature sensor 2 is realized; at the same time, the probe of the temperature sensor 2 needs to be in contact with the air. When the temperature sensor 2 is stuck in the structure, it can be in contact with the air to ensure the normal operation of the temperature sensor.

[0028] 102. Arrange the circuit based on the second limiting end in the connector.

[0029] The circuits of the fan 1 and the temperature sensor 2 are arranged and stored through the second limiting end 34. The second limiting end 34 is a hook. The hook of the second limiting end 34 is an elastic structure that can clamp the circuit and limit its movement.

[0030] 103. The first connecting portion in the connecting piece and the groove of the heat sink adopt an interference fit.

[0031] The radiator fixing surface of the connector 3 is provided with first connecting portions 31 at both left and right ends. The first connecting portions 31 are used to connect to the radiator.

[0032] Specifically, the first connecting portion 31 is a convex portion corresponding to the groove of the heat dissipation bracket. During assembly, the first connecting portion 31 is clamped in the groove of the radiator bracket.

[0033] The protrusion of the first connecting portion 31 and the groove of the radiator bracket are connected by a snap-on connection, which does not require additional fasteners and enables quick installation and disassembly. In addition, the snap-on connection and rigid structure design reduce the assembly gap and reduce the vibration transmission during the operation of the fan 1, thereby optimizing the operating stability and noise performance of the equipment.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, a connecting member 3 includes the connecting member structure mentioned above.

[0035] In summary, the connector provided by the present application is integrally formed, can simultaneously fix the fan and the temperature sensor on the radiator bracket, can organize and store the circuits, and is multifunctional; The connection method provided in this application adopts a snap-on connection between the protrusion of the first connection part and the groove of the radiator bracket, and the male head of the second connection part and the mounting hole, without the need for additional fasteners, to achieve quick installation and disassembly. In addition, the snap-on connection and rigid structure design reduce the assembly gap and reduce the vibration transmission during the operation of the fan, thereby optimizing the operating stability and noise performance of the equipment.
