Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a fan anti-pressure relief structure, especially a fan anti-pressure relief structure which forms vortex and hinders flow to achieve anti-pressure relief by setting anti-pressure relief structure on two relative rotating surfaces with non-flat surfaces. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic products towards high performance, high frequency, high speed and thin, the heat generation temperature of electronic products is getting higher and higher, thus unstable phenomenon is easily generated, which affects product reliability and service life, therefore heat dissipation has become one of the important problems of electronic products, and using a fan as a heat dissipation device is a common structure. Since the plurality of blades on the fan will generate vortex phenomenon during operation, the vortex phenomenon easily reduces the overall fan performance (such as air volume), so the industry develops a ring fan to improve this problem. Please refer to Figure 1A 、 Figure 1B The conventional ring fan 1 includes a frame body 10 and a fan wheel 11, the frame body 10 has an air outlet side 101, an air inlet side 102 and a shaft cylinder 104, the air outlet side 101 is opposite to the air inlet side 102 and together defines a containing space 12, the containing space 12 contains the aforementioned fan wheel 11, the shaft cylinder 104 is arranged at the center of the containing space 12 and is pivotally arranged with the corresponding fan wheel 11.

[0003] In addition, the aforementioned fan wheel 11 has a hub 111 and a plurality of blades 112, the ends of the plurality of blades 112 are annularly arranged on the outer circumferential side of the hub 111, and a ring body 14 is formed on the free end thereof, the ring body 14 is connected along the free end of the plurality of blades 112 and defines a gap 15 with the inner wall of the frame body 10; therefore, when the fan operates, the ring body 14 effectively reduces the vortex generation between the plurality of blades 112, thereby improving the fan performance and reducing the noise.

[0004] However, although the conventional ring fan 1 can effectively reduce the problem of vortex generation through the ring body 14, another problem is extended, because the ring fan 1 guides fluid from the air inlet side 102 during operation and guides the fluid out of the air outlet side 101 at the same time, the air outlet side 101 will generate negative pressure phenomenon, part of the guided fluid 17 will backflow and flow out from the aforementioned gap 15, causing pressure loss, then interfering with the guided fluid and generating turbulence, so that the fluid flow is not smooth, thereby causing the overall fan performance to decrease and the noise to increase. How to solve the above-mentioned conventional defects is the direction of research and improvement for the utility model person and the related manufacturers in this industry. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0022] The above-mentioned objectives of this utility model and its structural and functional characteristics will be described with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 The figures shown are exploded and combined sectional views of the first embodiment of the fan anti-pressure relief structure of this utility model. As shown in the figure, this utility model provides a fan anti-pressure relief structure 2, which includes: a fan rotor 21 and a fan frame 22.

[0025] The upper and lower ends of the fan frame 22 are respectively provided with an air inlet side 221 and an air outlet side 222.

The outer surface of the outer ring 215 and the inner wall of the fan frame 22 are arranged in parallel.

[0028] The arrangement of the pressure relief prevention area 220 causes the gap flow channel 228 to have a non-flat and non-smooth surface, which causes the airflow to generate vortex flow and flow resistance when entering, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing pressure relief.
