Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fans, and in particular to a fan with a reinforced fan frame structure. Background Technology

[0002] With continuous technological advancements, in-vehicle mobile charging devices have evolved from wired charging to wireless charging. This wireless charging method involves adding a wireless charging pad below the dashboard inside the vehicle. The driver simply places a wirelessly charging-enabled mobile device on the pad, and the pad quickly charges the device.

[0003] However, wireless charging pads utilize fast charging to charge mobile devices, which means they are more prone to overheating at higher speeds. Furthermore, the heat generated by other components in the surrounding vehicle can indirectly affect the normal operation of the wireless charging pad. Therefore, a cooling fan is installed beneath the wireless charging pad to dissipate the heat generated and ensure its proper functioning.

[0004] Since the wireless charging pad is installed below the dashboard near the gear shift, when replacing or repairing car parts at the dashboard or gear shift, the parts themselves may squeeze or impact the fan frame during disassembly or installation, which may cause the fan frame to deform or break, or cause parts of the parts to enter the fan frame, thus affecting the normal rotation of the fan blades.

[0005] Therefore, how to prevent the fan frame structure of the cooling fan from deforming or breaking when squeezed or impacted is the problem that this work aims to solve. Utility Model Content

[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide a design that adds a reinforcing structure to the fan frame. When the fan is installed in a compatible electronic device, this reinforcing structure prevents the fan frame from deforming or breaking when subjected to pressure or impact from external objects. Simultaneously, this reinforcing structure also prevents external objects from entering the fan frame, ensuring the normal operation of the fan blades.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a fan with a reinforced fan frame structure for heat dissipation in electronic devices. The fan includes at least one fan frame structure. The fan frame structure includes a housing and a water collection tank. The housing has an accommodating portion and a fixing portion surrounding the accommodating portion. The housing has an opening communicating with the accommodating portion, and a reinforcing structure is connected to the inner wall of the opening.

[0008] The reinforced structure consists of a plurality of reinforced structural rods and a reinforced structural plate. One end of each reinforced structural rod is connected to the inner wall of the opening, and the other end of each reinforced structural rod is connected to the reinforced structural plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the reinforcing structure is in the shape of a cross or a radial shape.

[0010] Furthermore, the fan frame structure includes a water collection tank, which is connected to one side of the cover and communicates with the receiving part. The water collection tank has an opening and an arc-shaped guide part.

[0011] Furthermore, the fan frame structure includes a plurality of connecting parts, which are disposed on the cover and the water collection tank.

[0012] Furthermore, the fan also includes a blade assembly, which comprises a receiving plate and a blade.

[0013] Furthermore, the fan blade is assembled onto the receiving plate, and the fan blade includes a hub and a ring, as well as a plurality of blades connected between the hub and the ring.

[0014] Furthermore, the hub has an axle and a control circuit board is disposed between the hub and the receiving plate to control the rotation of the hub.

[0015] Furthermore, the receiving plate has a plurality of fixing holes through which a plurality of fasteners pass to lock the receiving plate onto the fixing part.

[0016] Furthermore, the cover has two symmetrical positioning parts on its two side walls. When the receiving plate is assembled with the cover, the two positioning parts can abut against and engage with the side of the receiving plate.

[0017] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0047] In this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0048] Please see Figures 1-4 The fan 10 has a reinforced fan frame structure. The fan 10 includes a blade assembly 1 and a fan frame structure 2. When the fan 10 is installed below an electronic device (not shown), in addition to heat dissipation and smooth drainage of liquid flowing into the electronic device to prevent short circuits or damage to the fan 10, it also strengthens the structural strength of the fan frame structure 2 itself to prevent deformation of the fan frame structure 2.

[0049] The fan blade assembly 1 includes a receiving plate 11 and a fan blade 12. The fan blade 12 is assembled onto the receiving plate 11. The fan blade 12 includes a hub 121 and a ring 122, and a plurality of blades 123 connecting the hub 121 and the ring 122. A bearing (not shown) is disposed on the axis (not shown) of the hub 121, and a control circuit board (not shown) is disposed between the hub 121 and the receiving plate 11 to control the rotation of the hub 121. In addition, the receiving plate 11 has a plurality of fixing holes 111 for connecting the receiving plate 11 to the fan frame structure 2.

[0050] It is worth mentioning that the receiving plate 11 is a circuit board, which eliminates the need to manufacture the aforementioned control circuit board and allows for direct electrical connection of the ribbon cable assembly 124 to the main board 11. When the receiving plate 11 is made of plastic, it provides a mounting surface for assembling the fan blade 12 with the fan frame structure 2.

[0051] The fan frame structure 2 includes a cover 21, a water collection tank 22, and a plurality of assembly parts 23. The cover 21 has an accommodating portion 211 and a fixing portion 212 located around the accommodating portion 211. After the receiving plate 11 is assembled with the cover 21, the fan blade 12 is located within the accommodating portion 211. The cover 21 has an opening 213 communicating with the accommodating portion 211. Besides providing airflow for heat dissipation, the opening 213 also allows for direct drainage of liquid when a large volume of liquid flows in.

[0052] Additionally, a reinforcing structure 214 is connected to the inner wall of the opening 213. The reinforcing structure 214 consists of a plurality of reinforcing structural rods 2141 and a reinforcing structural plate 2142. One end of the reinforcing structural rod 2141 is connected to the inner wall of the opening 213, and the other end of the reinforcing structural rod 2141 is connected to the reinforcing structural plate 2142. The reinforcing structural rods 2141 and the reinforcing structural plate 2142 reinforce the structure of the fan frame structure 2 itself to prevent the fan frame structure 2 from deforming. At the same time, the reinforcing structure 214 can also prevent foreign objects from entering the inside of the cover 21 and affecting the operation of the fan blade 12.

[0053] Furthermore, after multiple fasteners 112 pass through the fixing holes 111, the receiving plate 11 is locked onto the fixing part 212, allowing the receiving plate 11 to be assembled with the cover 21. Additionally, the cover 21 has two symmetrical positioning parts 215 on its two side walls. After the receiving plate 11 is assembled with the cover 21, the two positioning parts 215 can abut against and engage with the side of the receiving plate 11, ensuring a secure connection between the receiving plate 11 and the cover 21.

[0054] Furthermore, the water collection tank 22 is connected to one side of the cover 21, and the water collection tank 22 communicates with the receiving part 211. The water collection tank 22 has a through-hole 221 and an arc-shaped guide part 222.

[0055] Furthermore, the connecting parts 23 are provided on the cover 21 and the water collection tank 22 to provide the fan frame structure 2 and to be installed below the electronic device (not shown) for heat dissipation and drainage of the flowing liquid.

[0056] Please see Figure 3 , 4 , is Figure 1 Top-down view of the three-dimensional combination diagram and system Figure 3 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the exterior from another perspective; see also... Figure 1 , 2 As shown in the figure: When installing and using the fan with a reinforced fan frame structure, the fan 10 of this invention is installed below an electronic device (not shown in the figure). The electronic device mentioned in this invention is a wireless charging device for automobiles.

[0057] When a mobile phone is being charged by a wireless charging device in a vehicle, the fan blades 12 of the fan 10 dissipate the heat generated by the wireless charging device, ensuring that the wireless charging device can operate normally and will not cause it to crash during the charging process.

[0058] When the wireless charging device is charging a mobile phone, if the user accidentally spills drinking water or beverages inside the car, the liquid will flow into the wireless charging device and then into the guide section 222 through the opening 221 of the water collection tank 22 of the fan frame structure 2. The flowing liquid will then flow directly into the opening 213 for discharge, thus preventing the liquid from affecting the normal operation of the fan blades 12 and ensuring that the wireless charging device and fan blades 12 are not damaged by the liquid.

[0059] At the same time, the reinforcing structure 214 strengthens the structure of the cover 21 itself, so that the cover 21 is not easily deformed or damaged when squeezed by external objects. The reinforcing structure 214 is cross-shaped or radial, which can not only prevent the cover 21 from being squeezed by external objects, but also prevent foreign objects from entering and affecting the normal operation of the fan blade 12.

[0060] However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this invention and is not intended to limit the scope of patent protection of this invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made using the content of this invention's specification or drawings are similarly included within the scope of protection of this invention and are hereby stated.
