AI Technical Summary
In the prior art, the adhesive inside the fan cover expands due to increased temperature, which reduces the sealing effect and may even come into contact with the rotor, affecting rotation.
The cover component is connected to the top of the bearing cage by an interference fit through the through hole, and a sealant is applied at the junction of the cover component, the ring cap and the bearing cage. The ring cap provides lateral restraint for the bearing cage and prevents the cover component from floating up at high temperatures.
The improved sealing of the fan prevents the casing from shifting and floating due to expansion, maintaining the fan's waterproof properties and rotational stability.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fan technology, and in particular to a fan. Background Technology
[0002] Cooling fans are typically installed in equipment that requires heat dissipation. The main structure of a fan includes a casing, a motor, and an impeller. The motor drives the impeller to rotate; the motor has a stator and a rotor, and the fan is waterproofed by sealing the stator.
[0003] Currently, the sealing treatment for motor stators involves installing a cover component on the outer periphery of the stator. The bottom outer periphery of the cover component is fixed to the inner periphery of the base part of the motor housing by bonding or other methods, thereby forming a sealed space. Waterproof adhesive is then injected into the sealed space, so that the entire stator part is wrapped in the sealant to achieve a waterproof effect.
[0004] However, in actual use, the adhesive injected inside the cover component will expand due to increased ambient temperature. This expanded adhesive will cause the cover component to float, reducing the sealing effect and affecting the overall waterproof performance of the fan. Furthermore, if greater expansion and deformation occur, the floated cover component may come into contact with the rotor, affecting the fan's rotation. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention primarily addresses the technical problem in existing fans where the adhesive inside the cover component expands due to increased ambient temperature, causing the cover component to float and reducing its sealing effect. The invention proposes a fan that can limit the expansion of adhesive inside the cover component at high temperatures, preventing the cover component from shifting upwards and floating, thereby enhancing the fan's sealing effect.
[0006] This utility model provides a fan, including a housing, an impeller, and a motor;
[0007] The housing has a housing base; a motor is mounted on the housing base; an impeller is mounted on the motor;
[0008] The motor includes a stator and a rotor; the stator includes a stator core, a bearing cage, an annular cap, and a cover component; the stator core is sleeved on the outer wall of the bearing cage; the stator core is covered by the cover component.
[0009] The cover component has a through hole at its center;
[0010] The through hole of the cover component is interference-fitted with the top outer wall of the bearing cage;
[0011] The bearing cage is covered with an annular cap on top; the annular cap is located axially above the through hole.
[0012] Preferably, the cover component has an integrally formed cylindrical portion and an axial end portion;
[0013] The through hole is located at the center of the axial end;
[0014] There is a recess between the axial end and the through hole.
[0015] Preferably, the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion is fixed to the radial outer side of the stator core;

[0021] The casing wall is connected to the casing base through multiple ribs.
[0022] Preferably, the outer periphery of the housing base has an annular wall portion.
[0023] This utility model provides a fan in which an annular cap is disposed on the upper end of a bearing cage. The annular cap provides lateral restraint for the bearing cage and axial restraint for the cover component. The annular cap limits the expansion of adhesive inside the cover component at high temperatures, preventing the cover component from shifting upwards and floating, thus enhancing the fan's sealing effect. A recessed portion is provided, and the annular cap extends into the top of the recessed portion, allowing the fan of this utility model to prevent the cover component from shifting upwards and floating without increasing space.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining this utility model and not for limiting it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to this utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings, not all of them.

The housing 1 has a housing wall 101; the housing wall 101 is connected to the housing base 102 through multiple ribs 104. The outer periphery of the housing base 102 has an annular wall 103.
[0036] The motor 3 includes a stator and a rotor, with the rotor mounted on the outside of the stator and an impeller 2 mounted on the outside of the rotor. Figure 5 As shown, the stator includes a stator core 304, a bearing cage 303, an annular cap 302, and a cover component 301; the stator core 304 is sleeved on the outer wall of the bearing cage 303; the stator core 304 is covered by the cover component 301.
[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, the cover component 301 has a through hole 3013 at its center; the through hole 3013 of the cover component 301 is interference-fitted with the top outer wall of the bearing cage 303. Figure 7As shown, the bearing cage 303 is topped with an annular cap 302; the annular cap 302 is located axially above the through hole 3013. The cover component 301 has an integrally formed cylindrical portion 3011 and an axial end portion 3012; the through hole 3013 is located at the center of the axial end portion 3012; a recess 3014 is provided between the axial end portion 3012 and the through hole 3013. The inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion 3011 is fixed to the radially outer side of the stator core 304; the axial end portion 3012 covers one axial end of the stator core 304. The cover component 301 is filled with sealant by injecting glue.
[0038] like Figure 8 As shown, the annular cap 302 has a protrusion 3021 on its radially outer side; the protrusion 3021 is located axially above the recess 3014 of the cover component 301, and the protrusion 3021 has a certain thickness.
