[0002] With the rapid development of electronic technology, the operating speed of heat-generating electronic components such as central processing units is getting faster and faster, and the heat generated during their operation is also increasing accordingly. In order to dissipate this heat and ensure the normal operation of electronic components, the industry uses fans to cool electronic components. Traditional fans generally include a stator, a rotor, and a frame that houses the stator and rotor. The rotor usually includes a hub and several fan blades that are evenly arranged around the hub and radiate outward. In the existing technology, two cooling fans are connected and fixed to achieve series connection between the fans. However, the existing cooling fan series assembly has technical problems such as inconvenient connection structure and low assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable telescopic series cooling fan, which aims to solve the technical problem that the assembly of existing cooling fans is not simple enough.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an adjustable telescopic tandem cooling fan, including a mounting bracket, a drive device, fan blades, and several connecting members. Two sliding grooves are provided on each of the two non-adjacent sides of the mounting bracket. The two sliding grooves on the same side are located at opposite ends of the side, and one end of each sliding groove connects to the end of the side. The connecting members are partially slidably disposed within the sliding grooves. The drive device is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket, and the fan blades are fixedly mounted on the rotating end of the drive device.

The first guide strip and the second guide strip are both fixedly installed on the inner surface of the adjusting plate.

[0006] Preferably, both the first guide bar and the second guide bar include a connecting bar and a sliding bar. One end of the connecting bar is connected to the adjusting plate, and the sliding bar is connected to the other end of the connecting bar. The connecting bar is disposed adjacent to the inner side of the slide groove, and the sliding bar is slidably connected to the inner sidewall of the slide groove. The two ends of the elastic locking member are respectively disposed through the two connecting bars.

[0007] Preferably, the included angle between the connecting strip and the sliding strip is set at 90°.

[0008] Preferably, a continuous adjusting rack is provided on the inner side of the slide groove, the adjusting rack is located near the side of the mounting bracket, and the end of the elastic locking member is engaged with the adjusting rack.

[0014] The adjustable telescopic tandem cooling fan of this utility model is assembled from a mounting frame, a drive unit, fan blades, and several connecting parts. The connecting parts are used to slide and adjust between the two ends of the mounting frames, respectively, to fix the two mounting frames together and achieve tandem assembly of the two cooling fans. During production, two sliding grooves are respectively opened on two non-adjacent sides of the mounting frame, with the two grooves located at opposite ends of the side of the mounting frame, ensuring that one end of the groove penetrates the end plane of the side of the mounting frame. During assembly, the drive unit is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame, and the fan blades are fixedly mounted on the rotating end of the drive unit. One end of the connector is adjustable and slidably installed in a slide groove, while the other end extends outward. During assembly, both ends of the connector are adjustable and slidably installed in the two slide grooves on the two mounting brackets.

This ensures that the two connecting terminals on the sides of the two mounting brackets are properly connected, thus achieving circuit connection between the two cooling fans and completing the series assembly of multiple fans. Through the above structural setting, the series assembly of multiple cooling fans can be completed by adjusting the sliding connector. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The adjustable telescopic tandem cooling fan of this utility model is assembled from a mounting bracket 10, a drive unit 20, fan blades 30, and several connecting parts 40. The connecting parts 40 are used to slide and adjust between the two sides of the two mounting brackets 10 to fix the two mounting brackets 10 together, achieving tandem assembly of the two cooling fans. During production, two sliding grooves 11 are respectively opened on two non-adjacent sides of the mounting bracket 10, with the two sliding grooves 11 located at opposite ends of the side of the mounting bracket 10, ensuring that one end of the sliding groove 11 penetrates the end plane of the side of the mounting bracket 10.
