Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted lamp heat dissipation equipment, in particular to a LED vehicle lamp heat dissipation fan. Background Art
[0002] Existing cooling fans are divided into two types: ball fans and hydraulic fans. Since ball fans are more efficient than hydraulic fans and rotate more smoothly, they are used in a wider range. When installing ball bearings, lubricating oil is added to the balls in the ball bearings so that the ball bearings are saturated with lubricating oil in the initial state. However, during the long-term use of ball bearings, the steel balls in the ball bearings and the inner and outer rings of the ball bearings are made of metal. When the lubricating oil in the ball bearings is gradually consumed, friction sounds will be emitted between the steel balls and the inner and outer rings, and the friction loss between the steel balls and the inner and outer rings will also be accelerated. This will cause the rotation stability of the cooling fan to decrease. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0021] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a cooling fan for an LED headlight of the utility model comprises a hollow outer frame 01, the outer circumference of which is adapted to the mounting position on the LED roof. A support plate 02 is provided at the bottom of the outer frame 01, and the axis of the support plate 02 is coaxially arranged with the axis of the outer frame 01. The support plate 02 and the outer frame 01 are fixedly connected by a plurality of connecting rods 03. The plurality of connecting rods 03 are evenly distributed between the support plate 02 and the outer frame 01. A card slot is provided on one of the connecting rods 03, and the card slot is used to place a wire for realizing electrical connection of the cooling fan.
[0022] One end of the connecting rod 03 is integrally formed and fixedly connected to the outer frame 01. The other end of the connecting rod 03 is integrally formed and fixedly connected to the support plate 02. A ventilation hole that is connected to the installation chamber is provided between two adjacent connecting rods 03.
[0023] A fixed column 04 is integrally formed on the support plate 02, and a driving shaft 05 is rotatably installed in the fixed column 04. One end of the driving shaft 05 is inserted into the fixed column 04 and rotatably connected to the fixed column 04, and the other end of the driving shaft 05 is located outside the fixed column 04 and fixedly installed with a wind wheel 06.
[0024] The fixing column 04 is provided with a fixing hole 08, which is a blind hole. A fluid dynamic bearing 09 is fixedly installed in the fixing hole 08, and the drive shaft 05 is fixedly installed on the fluid dynamic bearing 09. Lubricating oil is provided in the fixing hole 08 so that the fluid dynamic bearing 09 is immersed in the lubricating oil. The fluid dynamic bearing 09 is a standard part purchased from outside. Since the fluid dynamic bearing 09 is provided with micro grooves, the fluid mechanics characteristics of the micro grooves are used to fill the gap between the shaft and the bearing with lubricant. The surface of the bearing is engraved with a herringbone groove. When the main shaft rotates, the fluid pressure increases, and the lubricant can be concentrated inside the bearing, which is not easy to leak. At the same time, a certain amount of lubricating oil is sealed in the fixing hole 08, so as to ensure the supply of lubricating oil at all times. This further improves the service life of the fan, and can further enhance the noise reduction effect of the fan during operation, making the fan quieter.
[0025] A sealing ring 10 is fixedly installed on the driving shaft 05, and a fixing ring 11 is fixedly installed at the opening of the fixing hole 08. The fixing ring 11 is sleeved on the driving shaft 05, and a V-shaped groove 12 is provided between the bottom of the fixing ring 11 and the sealing ring 10. An adapted sealing ring 10 is provided in the V-shaped groove 12. The sealing ring 10 is elastically connected in the fixing ring 11.
[0026] During the assembly process, the fluid dynamic bearing 09 is first fixed on the drive shaft 05, and then the combination of the fluid dynamic bearing 09 and the drive shaft 05 is installed in the fixing hole 08. Lubricating oil is added to the fixing hole 08, and then the sealing ring 10 is fixed on the drive shaft 05. During the installation of the fixing ring 11, it is necessary to ensure that the lower end surface of the fixing ring 11 is flush with the lower end surface of the sealing ring 10 and is on the same plane. Then the fixing ring 11 is installed at the opening of the fixing hole 08 and sleeved on the drive shaft 05. Under normal conditions, the sealing ring 10 is clamped in the V-shaped groove 12 to seal the lubricating oil in the fixing hole 08.
[0027] The fixing ring 11 includes a cylindrical connecting section 15 fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing hole 08, an upper retaining ring 16 is provided at one end of the connecting section 15, and a lower retaining ring 17 is provided at the other end.

[0028] The surface of the sealing ring 10 is evenly distributed with a number of connecting columns 13 extending toward the upper retaining ring 16. The connecting columns 13 and the sealing ring 10 can be fixedly connected by fasteners or by integral molding. A retaining column 14 is provided on the top of the connecting column 13. The retaining column 14 and the connecting column 13 are fixedly connected by fasteners or by integral molding. The upper retaining ring 16 is provided with a mounting column 19 corresponding to the connecting column 13, and the mounting column 19 extends toward the lower retaining ring 17. The mounting column 19 and the upper retaining ring 16 are fixedly connected by integral molding.

The retaining column 14 is located in the connecting hole, and the connecting column 13 is located in the sliding hole. The connecting column 13 can slide up and down along the sliding hole on the fixing column. A retaining plate 20 is fixedly installed at the opening of the connecting hole by fasteners. A spring 21 is provided between the retaining plate 20 and the retaining column 14, one end of the spring 21 abuts against the connecting column 13, and the other end abuts against the retaining plate 20. The design of the spring 21 enables the sealing ring 10 to be located at the distal end of the upper retaining ring 16 in a normal state.
[0029] When the fixing ring 11 is fixed in the fixing hole 08 and the sealing ring 10 is fixed on the driving shaft 05, the sealing ring 10 is always clamped in the V-shaped groove 12 under the action of the spring 21 to seal the lubricating oil in the fixing hole 08.
