AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

During operation, the air expands due to the increased temperature of the existing cooling fan, causing oil to be squeezed out from the gaps near the exhaust port, resulting in oil leakage and affecting the fan's cooling effect and lifespan.

Method used

The exhaust port is located at the weakest point of capillary force in the fan structure, namely the cut area of ​​the positioning ring. It is designed as a fan-shaped columnar cut and groove to form the exhaust port, ensuring that gas is preferentially discharged from this area and preventing oil from being squeezed out.

Benefits of technology

This effectively prevents oil extrusion and leakage, improves the fan's operational stability and heat dissipation efficiency, and ensures the fan's normal operation and extended lifespan.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of radiating fan, and relates to an exhaust oil leakage prevention structure for radiating fan. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the existing radiating fan structure, the air remaining in the fan will expand due to temperature rise during operation. Since the exhaust port is designed near the central hole of the retaining ring, the gap between this position and the shaft center is limited, and the expanding air will often push the oil upward and accumulate in the upper part of the shaft gap, resulting in oil leakage. This oil leakage not only affects the heat dissipation effect of the fan, but also may cause internal pollution of the fan, affecting the normal operation and service life of the fan. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides an exhaust oil leakage prevention structure for radiating fan, which sets the exhaust hole at the position with the weakest capillary force in the fan structure, instead of the traditional central hole position of the retaining ring. When the gas expands, the remaining air can be preferentially guided out of the exhaust port, thereby avoiding the accumulation of gas in the upper part of the shaft gap and reducing the risk of oil extrusion and leakage caused by air expansion.

[0015] Beneficial effects

[0016] 1.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] As Figure 1As shown in the utility model embodiment, the exhaust hole is arranged at the fan-shaped columnar notch cut out by the protruding part of the positioning ring, oil is removed on the exhaust path, so that the expanded gas does not carry out oil during the exhaust process, and the lubrication and oil leakage prevention performance of the fan are ensured.

[0029] The utility model discloses a positioning ring is arranged on the bearing, and the protruding part of the positioning ring is cut out the fan-shaped columnar notch, and the exhaust hole is formed by the fan-shaped columnar notch and the inner wall of the upper section of the recess, so that the oil in the bearing is removed on the exhaust path, and the expanded gas does not carry out oil during the exhaust process, and the lubrication and oil leakage prevention performance of the fan are ensured.

[0030] Embodiment 2

[0031] As Figures 1-3 As shown in the utility model embodiment, the exhaust hole is arranged at the fan-shaped columnar notch cut out by the protruding part of the positioning ring, oil is removed on the exhaust path, so that the expanded gas does not carry out oil during the exhaust process, and the lubrication and oil leakage prevention performance of the fan are ensured.

[0032] In the embodiment, the two sides of the positioning ring 8 are provided with a gap of 0.15-0.3mm from the bottom of the upper section of the recess.

[0033] In the embodiment, the maximum distance of the exhaust hole 9 is greater than 0.3mm.

[0034] Specifically, in order to further weaken the capillary force of the positioning ring cutout area, the circular arc gap of the cutout area is set to be greater than or equal to 0.3 mm, so that the cutout of the outer periphery of the positioning ring forms a new gap with the copper pipe, which is the largest gap in the center frame structure and has the weakest capillary force, and this area becomes the preferential discharge path of the expanded gas, and the outer diameter of the bearing is reduced from φ5.0 to φ4.0, so that more space is reserved for the exhaust port, and the smooth discharge of the gas is ensured, and the overall structural strength and stability of the fan are not affected.

[0035] In the embodiment, a wear-resistant sheet is arranged between the shaft center 7 and the bottom of the groove.

[0036] In the embodiment, the stator 3 comprises a circuit board 4, a fixed frame fixedly installed on the circuit board 4, silicon steel sheets installed on the fixed frame, and coils wound on the fixed frame and acting on the silicon steel sheets, and the circuit board 4 is electrically connected with the coils.

[0037] In the embodiment, the top end of the shaft center 7 is provided with a motor shell 2, the outer side wall of the motor shell 2 is annularly provided with fan blades, and a magnet 1 is fixedly arranged below the motor shell 2 and surrounds the coils.

[0038] In the embodiment, a grommet is further arranged between the bottom of the bearing 6 and the clamping ring, the outer diameter of the grommet is the same as that of the clamping ring, and the inner diameter of the grommet is smaller than that of the clamping ring.

[0039] In the embodiment, the outer wall of the center sleeve 5 is in interference fit with the stator 3.

[0040] In the embodiment, the center sleeve 5 is a copper pipe.

[0041] The utility model forms an efficient oil storage and exhaust path:

[0042] Oil storage: because the gap formed by the cutout area and the copper pipe is large, the capillary force is weakened, and the oil cannot be brought out when the gas expands, so the oil can be left in the inside of the bearing and the positioning ring to avoid spilling out.

[0043] Exhaust: when the gas expands, the residual air will be discharged from the gap of the cutout of the positioning ring first, avoiding the accumulation in the upper part of the shaft center, and the exhaust path design ensures that the residual gas is discharged quickly and no oil is discharged, thereby improving the working stability of the fan.

[0044] Although some specific embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail through examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are only for illustration, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments can be modified or some technical features can be replaced equivalently without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure.
