Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of splicing fan technology, and in particular to a fan splicing structure. Background Technology

[0002] Cooling fans are used in many applications, such as various electronic devices, water cooling radiators, and computer cases. Especially in environments with extensive use of integrated circuits, high temperatures can lead to system instability, shortened lifespan, and even burn out some components. Where there are high temperatures, there is a need for cooling, and thus, cooling fans. However, existing cooling fans are generally single-unit designs, with limited airflow and fan size. Sometimes, a single fan is insufficient for optimal cooling, requiring multiple fans to operate simultaneously to achieve the desired effect. Therefore, modular cooling fans have emerged.

[0003] Existing modular fans typically achieve interlocking connections between adjacent fan units by setting interlocking grooves and locking blocks on both sides of the fan unit. However, this type of fan splicing structure restricts the splicing direction of the fan units, resulting in insufficient ease of use for existing modular fans. Utility Model Content

The first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are both disposed between two fan units 300, that is, two adjacent fan units 300 are spliced ​​together through the first connector 100 and the second connector 200. The first connector 100 has a first conductive unit 110, and each fan unit 300 is provided with a second conductive unit 310 corresponding to the first conductive unit 110.

Specifically, each fan unit 300 has a first connecting groove a and a second connecting groove b on both sides. The first connecting groove a corresponds to any end of the first connector 100, and the second connecting groove b corresponds to any end of the second connector 200.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first connecting body 120 is provided with two first clearance grooves c, which are located on both side walls of the first connecting body 120. Correspondingly, two first connecting spring pieces 130 are respectively housed in the two first clearance grooves c, and the two first connecting spring pieces 130 are respectively connected to the first mounting part 121. Specifically, the inner wall of the first connecting groove a is provided with two first spring piece mating grooves a1 corresponding to either end of the two first connecting spring pieces 130. When one end of the first connector 100 is mated into the first connecting groove a, the corresponding ends of the two first connecting spring pieces 130 are respectively mated and connected with the two first spring piece mating grooves a1, thereby further strengthening the connection strength between the first connector 100 and the fan unit 300.

[0039] Furthermore, the first conductive unit 110 is disposed through the first mounting portion 121, and the conductors of the first conductive unit extend outward from both sides of the first mounting portion 121 by a predetermined distance to form a mirror conductor structure, which is used to connect the conductive connection of the second conductive units 310 on both sides when the fan is assembled.

[0040] Furthermore, the second connector 200 includes a second connecting body 210 and a second connecting spring 220. Either end of the second connecting body 210 is correspondingly engaged with the second connecting groove b. The second connecting spring 220 is disposed in the middle of the second connecting body 210. When either end of the second connecting body 210 is connected to the second connecting groove b, the corresponding end of the second connecting spring 220 is engaged with the groove wall of the second connecting groove b, thereby realizing the engagement connection between the second connector 200 and the fan unit 300.

[0041] Specifically, the second connecting body 210 is configured as a hollow structure, and it is provided with a second mounting portion 211 and a second clearance groove d.

The second connecting spring piece 220 is received in the second clearance groove d and connected to the second mounting portion 211. In this embodiment, the middle portion of the second connecting spring piece 220 is connected to the second mounting portion 211, thereby forming a mirror structure for the second connector 200, allowing either end of the second connecting spring piece 220 to correspondingly engage with the inner wall of the second connecting groove b.

[0042] Specifically, a second spring plate mating groove b1 is provided on the inner wall of the second connecting groove b corresponding to either end of the second connecting spring plate 220. When one end of the second connector 200 is mated into the second connecting groove b, the corresponding end of the second connecting spring plate 220 is mated and connected with the second spring plate mating groove b1.

[0043] In this embodiment, the second connecting body 210 is provided with two second clearance grooves d, which are disposed on the two side walls of the second connecting body 210.

The conductive connector 410 is disposed at one end of the power cord 400, and the conductive connector 410 can be connected to the first connecting slot a.
