[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a replaceable LED strip cooling fan is provided, including a main mounting frame 10, a fan blade 20, and an LED strip device 30. The mounting frame has a limiting groove 111 on its side. The inner sides of the two ends of the limiting groove 111 extend outward from the inside to both ends in an arc shape. The LED strip device 30 has a positioning protrusion 31 on its side that engages with the limiting groove 111, and the positioning protrusion 31 can be completely accommodated in the limiting groove 111. The fan blade 20 is fixedly mounted on the drive end of the main mounting frame 10.

[0031] The replaceable LED strip cooling fan of this utility model is assembled from a main mounting frame 10, fan blades 20, and an LED strip device 30. At least one limiting groove 111 is provided on the side of the main mounting frame 10, and the inner sidewalls of the limiting groove 111 at both ends are arc-shaped. Two arc-shaped surfaces extend from the inner bottom of the limiting groove 111 towards both ends. Correspondingly, the inner side of the LED strip device 30 is provided with a positioning protrusion 31 that matches the limiting groove 111. The two sides of the positioning protrusion 31 are also arc-shaped. Furthermore, the arc-shaped surface on the positioning protrusion 31 is adapted to the arc-shaped surface in the limiting groove 111. The fan blade 20 is fixedly installed on the drive end of the main mounting bracket 10. During assembly, the guiding effect between the arc-shaped surface on the limiting groove 111 and the arc-shaped surface on the positioning protrusion 31 is utilized to ensure that the positioning protrusion 31 can smoothly engage with the limiting groove 111 when the light strip device 30 is assembled.
