Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fans, in particular to a fan. Background Art

[0002] Outdoor devices such as photovoltaic power generation equipment need to be equipped with fans for heat dissipation. Fans for outdoor device heat dissipation have relevant waterproof requirements. With the upgrade of equipment and the change of the use environment, the waterproof requirements for fans are gradually increasing.

[0003] Currently, as a common treatment method, waterproof treatment is carried out on the motor part of the fan. For example, applying waterproof glue to the circuit board of the motor and insulating the stator part of the motor will improve the waterproof effect of the fan motor.

[0004] Among many treatment methods, by setting a protective cover on the motor stator and injecting glue into the protective cover, the motor stator after injection is wrapped in the glue to achieve the waterproof effect of the motor. However, in the existing fans, no special waterproof treatment is carried out on the connection part between the protective cover and the fan housing. Once water enters the stator part of the motor, it will cause the waterproof function of the motor to fail. When the waterproof function of the motor fails, it will cause the heat dissipation function of the fan to fail, and in severe cases, it will cause the equipment equipped with this fan to malfunction.
