[0033] Some embodiments of this application are described in detail. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0034] Referring to Figure 1, this embodiment provides an electronic device 1000, which includes a housing 200, electronic components 300, and a fan 100. The electronic components 300 are disposed within the housing 200. The fan 100 is disposed within the housing 200 and is used to dissipate heat from the electronic components 300 or the housing 200.
[0035] Referring to Figures 2 to 9, in this embodiment, the fan 100 includes a housing 10, an impeller 11, a bearing 12, a first axial dynamic pressure oil passage 135, a second axial dynamic pressure oil passage 136, and a radial dynamic pressure oil passage 137. The housing 10 includes a base plate 101 and a bushing 102, the bushing 102 being connected to the base plate 101. The bushing 102 defines an internal space 1021. The impeller 11 includes a hub 111, a shaft 112, and a thrust plate 113. The shaft 112 has a first end 1121 and a second end 1122 that are axially opposed, the first end 1121 being connected to the hub 111, and the second end 1122 extending into the internal space 1021 of the bushing 102. The thrust plate 113 is connected to the second end 1122 of the shaft 112. The bearing 12 is disposed in the internal space 1021. The shaft 112 is rotatably connected to the bushing 102 via a bearing 12, which is located between the hub 111 and the thrust plate 113. The bearing 12 has a first end face 121 and a second end face 122 facing each other axially, and also has an inner circumferential surface 123 and an outer circumferential surface 124. A first axial dynamic pressure oil passage 135 is connected to the surface of the impeller 11 perpendicular to the axial direction. The first axial dynamic pressure oil passage 135 can generate a first axial dynamic pressure. A second axial dynamic pressure oil passage 136 is correspondingly provided to the first axial dynamic pressure oil passage 135, and can generate a second axial dynamic pressure. A radial dynamic pressure oil passage 137 is provided between the inner circumferential surface 123 of the bearing 12 and the outer circumferential surface 124 of the shaft 112, and can generate radial dynamic pressure. A first oil passage 131 is defined between the inner circumferential surface 123 of the bearing 12 and the outer circumferential surface of the shaft 112; a second oil passage 132 is defined between the first end face 121 and the hub 111; a third oil passage 133 is defined between the outer circumferential surface 124 of the bearing 12 and the bushing 102; and a fourth oil passage 134 is defined between the second end face 122 and the thrust plate 113. The first oil passage 131, the second oil passage 132, the third oil passage 133, and the fourth oil passage 134 are sequentially connected to form a liquid circuit 13. The impeller 11 can be in a completely suspended state under the action of the first axial dynamic pressure, the second axial dynamic pressure, and the radial dynamic pressure.
[0036] In this embodiment, the liquid circuit 13 contains lubricating oil (not shown in the figure). The lubricating oil circulates in the liquid circuit 13 and, under the combined action of the first axial dynamic pressure, the second axial dynamic pressure, and the radial dynamic pressure, keeps the impeller 11 in a completely suspended state. This reduces the friction generated by the rotation of the impeller 11, suppresses the deflection of the impeller 11, and reduces the temperature rise of the bearing 12. This reduces the noise generated by the rotation of the fan 100, reduces the wear of the fan 100, improves the sound quality of the fan 100, and extends the life of the fan 100.
[0037] In this embodiment, the first axial dynamic pressure and the second axial dynamic pressure are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The first axial dynamic pressure and the second axial dynamic pressure act simultaneously on the impeller 11, so that the impeller 11 is in a completely suspended state.
[0038] In this embodiment, the first axial dynamic pressure oil passage 135 is disposed between the first end face 121 and the hub 111, and the second axial dynamic pressure oil passage 136 is disposed between the second end face 122 and the thrust plate 113. When the fan 100 is working, the first axial dynamic pressure oil passage 135 generates the first axial dynamic pressure, and the second axial dynamic pressure oil passage 136 generates the second axial dynamic pressure. The first axial dynamic pressure and the second axial dynamic pressure work together to make the impeller 11 suspend axially.
[0039] In another embodiment, referring to FIG6, the first axial dynamic pressure oil passage 135 is disposed between the thrust plate 113 and the base plate 101, and the second axial dynamic pressure oil passage 136 is disposed between the second end face 122 and the thrust plate 113. When the fan 100 is working, the first axial dynamic pressure and the second axial dynamic pressure are balanced, so that the impeller 11 is suspended axially.
[0040] In this embodiment, the bearing 12 is also provided with a first connecting hole 125, which passes through the inner peripheral surface 123 and the outer peripheral surface 124 of the bearing 12. The first connecting hole 125 is located between the first end face 121 and the second end face 122, and connects the first oil passage 131 and the third oil passage 133.
[0041] In this embodiment, the first connecting hole 125 connects the first oil passage 131 and the third oil passage 133, and the lubricating oil accelerates its radial flow speed through the first connecting hole 125.
[0042] In this embodiment, the number of first connecting holes 125 can be zero, one, two, three, or more.
[0043] In this embodiment, the bearing 12 is also provided with a second connecting hole 126, which passes through the first end face 121 and the second end face 122, and connects the second oil passage 132 and the fourth oil passage 134.
[0044] In this embodiment, the second connecting hole 126 connects the second oil passage 132 and the fourth oil passage 134, and the lubricating oil accelerates its axial flow speed through the first connecting hole 125.
[0045] In this embodiment, the number of second connecting holes 126 can be zero, one, two, three, or more.
[0046] In this embodiment, the inner circumferential surface 123 of the bearing 12 is provided with a first dynamic pressure groove 1231, which forms a radial dynamic pressure oil passage 137 with the outer circumferential surface 124 of the shaft 112. The first end face 121 is provided with a second dynamic pressure groove 1211, which fits into the hub 111 to form a first axial dynamic pressure oil passage 135. The second end face 122 is provided with a fourth dynamic pressure groove 1221, which fits into the thrust washer 113 to form a second axial dynamic pressure oil passage 136.
[0047] In this embodiment, the first oil passage 131 is composed of the gap between the shaft 112 and the inner circumferential surface 123 of the bearing 12 and the groove space of the first dynamic pressure groove 1231; the second oil passage 132 is composed of the gap between the first end face 121 of the bearing 12 and the hub 111 and the groove space of the second dynamic pressure groove 1211; the third oil passage 133 is composed of the gap between the outer circumferential surface 124 of the bearing 12 and the inner ring surface of the bushing 102; and the fourth oil passage 134 is composed of the gap between the second end face 122 of the bearing 12 and the thrust plate 113 and the groove space of the fourth dynamic pressure groove 1221.
[0048] In this embodiment, the first dynamic pressure groove 1231 forms a certain angle with the horizontal plane. When the bearing 12 rotates, the first dynamic pressure groove 1231 generates radial dynamic pressure, allowing the lubricating oil to flow in the first dynamic pressure groove 1231.
[0049] In this embodiment, the second dynamic pressure groove 1211 forms a certain angle with the radial direction of the first end face 121 of the bearing 12. When the bearing 12 rotates, the second dynamic pressure groove 1211 generates axial dynamic pressure, allowing the lubricating oil to flow in the second dynamic pressure groove 1211.
[0050] In this embodiment, the fourth dynamic pressure groove 1221 forms a certain angle with the radial direction of the second end face 122 of the bearing 12. When the bearing 12 rotates, the fourth dynamic pressure groove 1221 generates axial dynamic pressure, allowing the lubricating oil to flow in the fourth dynamic pressure groove 1221.
[0051] In this embodiment, the fan 100 has a second oil passage 132, a fourth oil passage 134, and a second connecting hole 126 in the radial direction, and lubricating oil can flow radially in the second oil passage 132, the fourth oil passage 134, and the second connecting hole 126. In the axial direction, it has a first oil passage 131, a third oil passage 133, and a first connecting hole 125, and lubricating oil can flow axially in the first oil passage 131, the third oil passage 133, and the first connecting hole 125. The number of the first connecting hole 125 and the second connecting hole 126 can be adjusted according to the rotational speed of the fan 100 to adjust the flow rate of the lubricating oil in the radial and axial directions, thereby enabling the impeller 11 to be in a completely suspended state.
[0052] In this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface 124 of the bearing 12 also has a cut-off portion 1241, which extends through the first end face 121 and the second end face 122 along the axial direction of the bearing 1 to define an external communication channel 16 between the bearing 12 and the bushing 102.
[0053] In this embodiment, the number of cut-off portions 1241 can be one, two, or more, to form a corresponding number of external connecting channels 16.
[0054] In this embodiment, after the cut-out portion 1241 is removed, a vertical external communication channel 16 is formed between the bearing 12 and the bushing 102, which increases the flow speed of lubricating oil along the axial direction.
[0055] In this embodiment, the number of cut-off portions 1241 can be adjusted according to the rotational speed of the bearing 12 to adjust the flow speed of lubricating oil along the axial direction of the bearing 12, so that the impeller 11 is in a completely suspended state.
[0056] In this embodiment, the hub 111 is further provided with a thrust portion 1111, and the bearing 12 is sandwiched between the thrust portion 1111 and the thrust plate 113113. The outer periphery of the first end face 121 of the bearing 12 is recessed to form a first annular groove 127; the thrust portion 1111 also has a first convex ring 1112, which is fitted into the first annular groove 127.
[0057] In another embodiment, referring to Figures 10 to 13, the thrust portion 1111 is also provided with a second annular groove 1113. The second groove is formed by the inner recess of the outer edge of the end face of the thrust portion 1111 along the axial direction. The radial outer edge of the first end face 121 of the bearing 12 is provided with a second convex ring 1271. The second convex ring 1271 corresponds to the second annular groove 1113 along the axial direction. The second convex ring 1271 can extend vertically into the second annular groove 1113.
[0058] In other embodiments, the thrust portion 1111 and the bearing 12 may also be designed as other structures forming a stepped fit.
[0059] Referring again to Figures 2 through 7, in this embodiment, an L-shaped communication gap 17 is defined between the first convex ring 1112 and the first annular groove 127. One axial end of the bushing 102 is clamped to the outside of the first convex ring 1112, and an outlet gap is defined between the first convex ring 1112 and the bushing 102. A sealing layer 14 is provided within the outlet gap to seal the communication gap 17.
[0060] In this embodiment, the thrust portion 1111 and the first annular groove 127 form a stepped fit to limit the bearing 12 radially, and make the outer side of the outer annular surface of the thrust portion 1111 correspond to the bushing 102 radially, so that a gap is formed between the bushing 102 and the thrust portion 1111 to accommodate the sealing layer 14.
[0061] In this embodiment, the sealing layer 14 is a descaling agent or other chemical substance that can prevent lubricating oil from migrating out or leaking.
[0062] In this embodiment, the bushing 102 also has a limiting boss 1022, which protrudes from the side of the bushing 102 away from the hub 111 along the axial direction. The second end face 122 of the bearing 12 cooperates with the limiting boss 1022 to form an oil storage space 15 between the second end face 122 and the base plate 101 to accommodate lubricating oil.
[0063] In this embodiment, the oil storage space 15 is connected to the fourth oil passage 134 to connect to the liquid circuit 13, so that the lubricating oil flows in the liquid circuit 13.
[0064] In this embodiment, the limiting boss 1022 is used to limit the axial displacement of the bearing 12, so that the thrust plate 113 and the base plate 101 are kept at a certain distance, thereby reducing the friction generated when the impeller 11 rotates.
[0065] In this embodiment, the fan 100 further includes a stator 103, which is connected to the outer annular surface of the bushing 102. The impeller 11 also includes a rotor 115 and a fan blade 114. The fan blade 114 is connected to the hub 111, and the rotor 115 is connected to the hub 111. The rotor 115 corresponds to the stator 103 radially, so that the rotor 115 can interact with the stator 103 and rotate, thereby driving the impeller 11 to rotate relative to the housing 10.
[0066] In summary, this application provides a fan 100, which includes a housing 10, an impeller 11, and a bearing 12. The housing 10 includes a bushing 102, and the impeller 11 includes a shaft 112, a hub 111, and a thrust plate 113. The bearing 12 is fitted to the shaft 112 and disposed between the hub 111 and the thrust plate 113. The bearing 12 has a first end face 121, a second end face 122, an inner circumferential surface 123, and an outer circumferential surface 124. A first oil passage 131 is defined between the inner circumferential surface 123 of the bearing 12 and the outer circumferential surface 124 of the shaft 112, a second oil passage 132 is defined between the first end face 121 and the hub 111, a third oil passage 133 is defined between the outer circumferential surface 124 of the bearing 12 and the bushing 102, and a fourth oil passage 134 is defined between the second end face 122 and the thrust plate 113. The first to fourth oil passages (131-134) are connected in sequence to form a liquid circuit 13. The liquid circuit 13 contains lubricating oil. When the impeller 11 rotates, the first oil passage 131, the second oil passage 132, and the fourth oil passage 134 can generate axial dynamic pressure and radial dynamic pressure, allowing the lubricating oil to circulate in the liquid circuit 13. This keeps the impeller 11 in a completely suspended state, reducing the friction generated by the rotation of the fan 100, improving the sound quality of the fan 100, and extending the life of the fan 100.
