[0024] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the fan 200 of one embodiment of the utility model comprises a casing 8, two wall panels 9 respectively mounted at both ends of the casing 8, a fan main shaft 3 mounted on the casing 8, an impeller 7 mounted in the casing 8, and a main oil tank 10 and a subsidiary oil tank 2 respectively mounted on the outsides of the two wall panels 9, wherein a tank gland 1 is mounted on the side of the subsidiary oil tank 2 facing away from the casing 8. In this embodiment, the casing 8, the wall panels 9, the main oil tank 10, the subsidiary oil tank 2, the fan main shaft 3 and the oil throwing plate 6 can adopt the existing structures in the prior art, and no detailed description is given here.

[0025] In this embodiment, the oil tank gland 1 includes a first portion 111 and a second portion 112 disposed on one side of the first portion 111, wherein the second portion 112 extends perpendicularly to one side of the first portion 111. In this embodiment, the first portion 111 is generally annular, and a through hole is provided at the center thereof for the fan main shaft 3 of the fan 200 to pass through.

[0026] In this embodiment, an O-ring chamber 11 is provided at a position where the first part 111 is adjacent to the outer side of the second part 112, and the O-ring chamber 11 is recessed from the first part 111 toward the side of the second part 112. An O-ring 4 can be installed in the O-ring chamber 11 to ensure the sealing between the first part 111 and the outer side of the auxiliary oil tank 2. The first part 111 is also provided with a plurality of mounting holes 113, through which bolts can pass to mount the oil tank gland 1 on the auxiliary oil tank 2. Preferably, the plurality of mounting holes 113 are provided adjacent to the O-ring chamber 11.

[0027] The second part 112 is generally in the shape of a hollow column with two ends open. The inner side of the second part 112 is set as a step hole, the inner side of the second part 112 adjacent to the first part 111 is set as an oil separator ring chamber 12, and the inner side of the second part 112 adjacent to the oil separator ring chamber 12 away from the first part 111 is set as a skeleton oil seal chamber 13, wherein the diameter of the oil separator ring chamber 12 is smaller than the diameter of the skeleton oil seal chamber 13. The skeleton oil seal 5 can be installed in the skeleton oil seal chamber 13.
