[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a fan protection structure, including an outer frame 1. An inverted U-shaped fixing seat 2 is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the outer frame 1. A fan blade 21 is fixed on the outer surface of the side wall of the inverted U-shaped fixing seat 2. The side wall of the inverted U-shaped fixing seat 2 surrounds the outer frame 1, and there is a first gap between the side wall of the inverted U-shaped fixing seat 2 and the outer frame 1. A first protrusion 22 is provided at one end of the inverted U-shaped fixing seat 2 near the first gap, and a second protrusion 11 is provided on one side of the outer frame 1 near the first gap. The first protruding surface 221 of the first protrusion 22 and the second protruding surface 111 of the second protrusion 11 are opposite to and parallel to each other. The distance between the first protruding surface 221 and the second protruding surface 111 is 0.5 to 1.0 mm.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the gap between the lower extension of the fan blade and the outer frame ring is large. When the fan is working, due to the airflow, dust, impurities, electrolytes, small flying insects and other contaminants in the air can easily enter the fan, which can lead to corrosion of the silicon steel sheets and coils in the fan stator. Moreover, dust entering the rotor shaft and bearings will mix with the lubricating oil, which will seriously affect the lubrication effect of the shaft and bearings and reduce the service life of the fan.

[0038] This utility model provides a fan protection structure having a first protrusion 22 and a second protrusion 11, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the fan starts working, because the first protrusion 22 and the second protrusion 11 are close to each other and the distance between them is small, the gap between the side wall of the inverted U-shaped fixing seat 2 and the outer frame 1 can be reduced, preventing impurities in the airflow from entering the fan and ensuring the stable operation of the internal structures of the fan; at the same time, the opposing first protruding surface 221 and second protruding surface 111 are controlled to be arranged parallel to each other and maintain a safe distance, ensuring that the first protrusion 22 and the second protrusion 11 will not collide when the fan blade 21 rotates. Preferably, the distance between the first protruding surface 221 and the second protruding surface 111 is 0.5mm.
