By designing a silencer guide structure inside the fan frame, the airflow is guided to the outside for discharge, thereby reducing noise and solving the above-mentioned problem.

[0007] Preferably, the present application combines arc-shaped ribs, oblique silencer grooves and air flow channels, so that when the fan rotates to blow the air flow, the arc-shaped ribs will change the wind direction through their own first wind guide slopes and second wind guide slopes, and enhance the stability of the overall structure. At the same time, after the wind direction changes, when it is discharged outward from the air flow channel, the oblique silencer groove expands the air outlet through its own oblique design, thereby guiding the airflow.

[0008] Preferably, four groups of shock-absorbing ribs are provided at the outer end of the middle frame, and the four groups of shock-absorbing ribs are arranged around the outer end of the middle frame, and multiple groups of reinforcing ribs are provided between the four groups of shock-absorbing ribs.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] See also Figures 1-4 The utility model provides an embodiment: a fan frame with a silencer structure includes a middle frame 1, a top frame 3 and a bottom frame 2; the bottom frame 2 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the middle frame 1, and the top frame 3 is installed at the upper end of the middle frame 1. An air flow channel 4 is opened inside the middle frame 1, and a motor seat 6 is provided at the center of the bottom frame 2. A plurality of groups of arc-shaped ribs 7 are arranged around the outer end of the motor seat 6. A first wind guide slope 8 and a second wind guide slope 9 are respectively provided on both sides of the arc-shaped ribs 7. One end of the plurality of groups of arc-shaped ribs 7 is connected to the motor seat 6, and the other end of the plurality of groups of arc-shaped ribs 7 is connected to the connection between the bottom frame 2 and the middle frame 1. An oblique silencer groove 15 is opened between the other ends of the plurality of groups of arc-shaped ribs 7, and the oblique silencer groove 15 is communicated with the air flow channel 4.

[0022] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 3 , and the fan is rotated to blow the airflow, so that the fan can rotate and blow the airflow in a direction of rotation, thereby preventing the fan from rotating and causing the airflow to flow in a direction of rotation.

[0023] See also Figure 2-Figure 3In this embodiment, a motor slot 10 is provided at the upper end of the motor base 6, a positioning shaft 11 is installed in the center of the motor slot 10, a first-level wiring opening 12 is opened through the side wall of the motor slot 10, and a second-level wiring hole 17 corresponding to the first-level wiring opening 12 is opened at the edge of one side of the lower end of the bottom frame 2. A wire clip 16 is provided at the upper end of one group of arc-shaped ribs 7. Through the combination of the motor base 6 and the positioning shaft 11, when the fan is installed, the motor can be positioned and installed in the center of the motor slot 10 through the positioning shaft 11. At the same time, the power cord of the motor is passed through the first-level wiring opening 12, the wire clip 16 and the second-level wiring hole 17 in sequence to connect to the external power supply.

[0024] See also Figure 3-Figure 4 In this embodiment, mounting grooves 18 are provided at the corners of the sides away from the top frame 3, and stress dispersion grooves 21 are provided on the side of the mounting grooves 18 close to the air flow channel 4. The combination of the mounting grooves 18 and the stress dispersion grooves 21 allows the user to install the fan frame with screws. The stress generated by the screw fixation can be dispersed through the stress dispersion grooves 21, thereby preventing the stress generated by the screw fixation from being too concentrated and damaging the installation position. A mounting hole 19 is provided in the center of the mounting groove 18, and a rubber gasket 20 is provided inside the mounting groove 18. The combination of the mounting hole 19 and the rubber gasket 20 allows the mounting gasket to play a shock-absorbing and buffering role between the screw, the fan frame, and the installed body during installation. At the same time, the mounting gasket can avoid collision between the fan frame and the installed body, further playing a role in noise reduction and silencing.

[0025] During operation, the motor can be positioned and installed in the center of the motor slot 10 through the positioning shaft 11, and the power cord of the motor is connected to the external power supply through the first-level wiring port 12, the wire card 16 and the second-level wiring hole 17 in sequence. The installation gasket can play a shock-absorbing and buffering role between the screws, the fan frame and the installed body. At the same time, the installation gasket can avoid collision between the fan frame and the installed body.

[0026] When the fan rotates and blows the air flow, multiple groups of oblique guide strips 5 can guide the air flow to flow in a specific direction, making the air volume more concentrated and enhanced, avoiding turbulence or eddy currents in the air flow inside the fan, reducing the friction and collision between the air flow and the side wall of the air flow channel 4, and playing a preliminary silencing role.

[0027] When the airflow passes through multiple groups of curved ribs 7, the curved ribs 7 will change the wind direction through their own structure and enhance the stability of the overall structure. At the same time, after the wind direction changes, when it is discharged outward from the air flow channel 4, the oblique silencer groove 15 expands the air outlet through its own oblique design, avoiding collision between the airflow and the fan frame, and further playing a silencing role.

[0028] Through the above steps, the present application combines the arc ribs 7, the oblique guide strips 5, the oblique silencer grooves 15 with the air flow channel 4, so that when the fan rotates to blow the air flow, the multiple groups of oblique guide strips 5 on the side walls of the air flow channel 4 can reduce the resistance of the air flow, so that more air can pass through the fan smoothly, and at the same time guide the air flow to flow in a specific direction, so that the wind volume is more concentrated and enhanced, avoiding the air flow from generating turbulence or vortex phenomena inside the fan, reducing the friction and collision between the air flow and the side walls of the air flow channel 4, playing a preliminary silencer role, thereby increasing the air volume, and the air flow passes through multiple groups of arc ribs 7, and the arc ribs 7 will change the wind direction through their own structure and enhance the stability of the overall structure. At the same time, after the wind direction changes, when it is discharged outward from the air flow channel 4, the oblique silencer grooves 15 expand the air outlet through their own oblique design, avoiding the collision of the air flow with the fan frame, further playing a silencer role, thereby improving the user experience.
