[0026] Reference Figures 1-4 This invention provides a cooling fan with a convenient graphite long carbon brush replacement method, comprising a fan unit 100 and a replacement unit 200.

[0027] The fan unit 100 includes an outer frame 101 and a motor body 104 that is matched and installed with the outer frame 101. The two ends of the motor body 104 are equipped with a fan body 102 and a rear cover 105. The inner cavity of the rear cover 105 is equipped with a rotating shaft 107, and the outer surface of the rotating shaft 107 is equipped with a commutator 108. This is a relatively mature existing technology, and will not be elaborated on here.

[0028] The replacement unit 200 includes a fixing box 201 symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the rear cover 105. A connecting block 210 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the fixing box 201. A limiting plate 211 is installed on one side of the connecting block 210. The inner wall of the fixing box 201 has symmetrically formed sliding grooves, which are slidably connected to the limiting plate 211. The limiting plate 211 slides within the sliding grooves to prevent the connecting block 210 from sliding out of the inner cavity of the fixing box 201. A return spring 209 is installed in the inner cavity of the fixing box 201, and one end of the return spring 209 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting plate 211. A pull rod 204 is installed on one side of the connecting block 210, and an mounting rod 204 is installed on the side of the connecting block 210 away from the limiting plate 211. The mounting frame 202 has an inner wall with a fitting groove 212. A graphite long carbon brush body 203 is fitted into the inner cavity of the fitting groove 212, with one end of the graphite long carbon brush body 203 fitting against the outer wall of the protective cover 103. Mounting grooves 206 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the inner cavity of the mounting frame 202. A telescopic spring 207 is installed in the inner cavity of the mounting groove 206, and a limit rod 208 is installed at the other end of the telescopic spring 207. A clamping block 205 is installed at one end of every two sets of limit rods 208, and the side wall of the clamping block 205 fits against the side wall of the graphite long carbon brush body 203. When the graphite long carbon brush body 203 needs to be installed, it is inserted into the mounting frame. Inside the mounting frame 202, as the graphite long carbon brush body 203 is pushed in, it encounters symmetrically arranged clamping blocks 205 pre-set within the mounting frame 202. These clamping blocks move closer to the inner wall as the graphite long carbon brush body 203 moves. The displacement of the clamping blocks 205 causes the limiting rod 208 to slide within the mounting groove 206, compressing the telescopic spring 207 therein. When the graphite long carbon brush body 203 is fully slid into the specially designed fitting groove 212, the two sets of clamping blocks 205, under the action of the telescopic spring 207, are pressed tightly against both sides of the graphite long carbon brush body 203, ensuring its stable installation. Next, the pull rod 204 is pulled away from the rear cover 105. The rear cover 105 is pulled into the mounting frame 202 by the connecting block 210 and enters the fixed box 201. This action compresses the return spring 209. Then, the rear cover 105 is assembled to the tail of the motor body 104 and the pull rod 204 is released. At this time, the return spring 209 releases energy and pushes the connecting block 210 and the attached graphite long carbon brush body 203 toward the commutator 108 until the graphite long carbon brush body 203 is tightly attached to the surface of the commutator 108. Only the rear cover 105 needs to be removed. This solves the problem that graphite long carbon brushes are easy to wear and need to be frequently inspected and replaced. However, since they are built into the motor, the internal components need to be disassembled for replacement, which is cumbersome, time-consuming and poses a risk of damaging the motor.

[0029] One side of the clamping block 205 is designed as an arc surface to facilitate the graphite long carbon brush body 203 pressing the clamping block 205 into the fitting groove 212. When the graphite long carbon brush body 203 presses the clamping block 205, since the contact surface between the clamping block 205 and the graphite long carbon brush body 203 is arc-shaped, the clamping block 205 will be subjected to a pushing force towards the inner wall of the mounting frame 202 during the installation of the graphite long carbon brush body 203, thereby causing corresponding movement.

[0030] Both sets of fixing boxes 201 have through holes installed on their side walls, and the through holes are slidably connected to the pull rod 204 to facilitate the movement of the pull rod 204.

[0031] A protective cover 103 is installed on one side of the outer frame 101. The protective cover 103 is used to protect the fan body 102 from collisions with foreign objects.

[0032] The outer frame 101 has threaded holes at both ends and four corners to facilitate the installation of the device in the designated location.

[0033] A mounting piece 106 is installed at one end of the back cover 105, and the mounting piece 106 is connected to the outer frame 101 by bolts.

[0034] During use, when installing the graphite long carbon brush body 203, insert the graphite long carbon brush body 203 into the inner cavity of the mounting frame 202. As the graphite long carbon brush body 203 is pushed in, it encounters pre-set, symmetrically arranged clamping blocks 205 within the mounting frame 202. These clamping blocks move closer to the inner wall as the graphite long carbon brush body 203 moves. The displacement of the clamping blocks 205 causes the limiting rod 208 to slide within the mounting groove 206, compressing the telescopic spring 207 within it. When the graphite long carbon brush body 203 is completely slid into the specially designed fitting groove 212, the two sets of clamping blocks 205, under the action of the telescopic spring 207, adhere tightly to both sides of the graphite long carbon brush body 203, ensuring stable installation. Next, through... Pull the lever 204 away from the rear cover 105. The rear cover 105 is pulled into the mounting frame 202 by the connecting block 210 and enters the fixing box 201. This action compresses the return spring 209 at the same time. Then, the rear cover 105 is assembled to the tail of the motor body 104 and the lever 204 is released. At this time, the return spring 209 releases energy and pushes the connecting block 210 and the attached graphite long carbon brush body 203 toward the commutator 108 until the graphite long carbon brush body 203 is tightly attached to the surface of the commutator 108. Only the rear cover 105 needs to be removed. This solves the problem that graphite long carbon brushes are easy to wear and need to be frequently inspected and replaced. However, since they are built into the motor, the internal components need to be disassembled for replacement, which is cumbersome, time-consuming and has the risk of damaging the motor.

[0035] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
