Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of computer accessories, and specifically discloses a fan PCB light strip. Background Art

[0002] A fan is a common temperature control device inside a computer case, mainly used for heat dissipation to ensure that a computer or other electronic device maintains a stable temperature during operation. Modern computer case fans usually control the fan speed through a built-in PCB (printed circuit board). This PCB can automatically adjust the fan speed according to the change of the internal temperature of the device, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency and reducing noise.

[0003] Through this built-in control system, the fan can provide a more flexible and efficient heat dissipation solution under different working conditions, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the device.

[0004] The built-in PCB boards are usually not just one piece. They can be divided into multiple parts, each responsible for a different function. For example, there will be a dedicated PCB board for controlling the fan speed, while another PCB board may be dedicated to controlling the lighting effects on the fan. These lighting control boards can support RGB lighting effects, enabling the fan to display a rich variety of lighting effects and enhancing the aesthetics and personalization of the entire computer case.

[0005] However, multiple PCB boards are usually connected by flying wires. Although this connection method can effectively reduce production costs, the quality of the flying wire soldering often fluctuates during the processing. This instability may cause problems during product use, such as some LED lights not lighting up, abnormal lighting effects, or the fan speed control malfunctioning.

[0006] The quality fluctuations of flying wire soldering mainly stem from the complexity of the soldering process and the high requirements for precision. If there are slight deviations during the soldering process, the connection of the flying wire may be loose or have poor contact, resulting in unstable electrical signal transmission. This instability will directly affect the function of the PCB board and thus the normal operation of the fan.

[0007] Therefore, although the flying wire connection has its advantages in reducing costs, the quality control of the solder joints often needs to be considered as a key point. Summary of the Utility Model
