Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer fans, and in particular to a computer fan with a detachable display module. Background Technology

[0002] The computer power supply fan is the core heat dissipation component of a computer power supply, mainly used to maintain a stable internal temperature to ensure its normal operation.

[0003] With the increasing visibility of transparent computer cases, the requirements for the performance of the fans inside the case have also increased. Therefore, improving the display effect of the fans has become a design requirement for various manufacturers.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent 202421409373.X uses the installation of an impeller disk and a display screen to achieve the display of predetermined data.

[0005] However, in actual use, the orientation of the display screen needs to be set according to the layout of the chassis or the layout of the electronic components in order to observe the displayed pattern, which has limitations.

[0006] Furthermore, for manufacturers, the cost of molds is higher when different buyers require different displays or logos, which increases production costs. Utility Model Content

[0007] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a computer fan with a detachable display module, which aims to improve the structure of the computer fan, make the angle of the display screen adjustable, and allow the display screen to be replaced according to different buyers, thereby reducing production costs and improving market competitiveness.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a computer fan with a detachable display module, comprising:

[0009] A frame, wherein a fluid channel is provided in the middle of the frame, and an impeller pivotally mounted on the frame is provided in the fluid channel.

[0010] The frame is equipped with a motor to drive the impeller to rotate;

[0011] A swing arm, one end of which is pivotally mounted to the frame, and the end of which extends away from the frame to the middle of the fluid channel and forms a positioning seat. The swing arm is suspended at a predetermined angle by a limiting structure.

[0012] The display screen is detachably mounted on the positioning base.

[0013] The lower wall of the display screen and the upper wall of the positioning base are respectively provided with a first electrical connection part and a second electrical connection part that cooperate with each other.

[0014] The second electrical connection part extends into the frame through a cable passing through the swing wall and connects to the power interface.

[0015] In the actual design, a swing arm is set in the frame, and the angle of the swing arm can be adjusted through a damping structure. Furthermore, by setting a positioning seat in the swing arm and detachably connecting the positioning seat and the display screen, the needs of different buyers can be met. No overall changes are required; only the design, layout, logo, or trademark of the display screen needs to be changed according to the buyer's requirements. The display screen is modularly designed, thereby reducing production costs. Attached Figure Description

[0038] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a computer fan with a detachable display module includes:

[0039] The frame 1 has a fluid channel 12 in its middle, and the fluid channel 12 has an impeller 11 pivotally mounted on the frame 1.

[0040] The frame 1 is equipped with a motor to drive the impeller 11 to rotate;

[0041] A swing arm 2, one end of which is pivotally mounted to the frame 1, and the end of the swing arm 2 away from the frame 1 extends to the middle of the fluid channel 12 and forms a positioning seat 20. The swing arm 2 is suspended at a predetermined angle by a limiting structure.

[0042] Display screen 6 is detachably mounted on positioning base 20.

[0043] The lower wall of the display screen 6 and the upper wall of the positioning base 20 are respectively provided with a first electrical connection part 31 and a second electrical connection part 32 that cooperate with each other.

[0044] The second electrical connection part 32 extends into the frame 1 through a cable passing through the swing wall and connects to the power interface.

[0045] In the actual design, a swing arm 2 is set in the frame 1, and the angle of the swing arm 2 is adjusted by a damping structure. Furthermore, by setting a positioning seat 20 in the swing arm 2, and by detachably setting the positioning seat 20 and the display screen 6, the needs of different buyers are met. No overall changes are required. Only the design, layout, logo or trademark of the display screen 6 need to be changed according to the needs of the buyers. The display screen 6 is modularly designed, thereby reducing production costs.

[0046] Specifically, the upper wall of the positioning seat 20 is provided with a limiting block 41, and the upper wall of the limiting block 41 is provided with the first electrical connection part 31;

[0047] The display screen 6 is provided with a limiting groove 42 that cooperates with the limiting block 41. The limiting groove 42 is provided with the second electrical connection part 32. The locking structure effectively ensures the stability of the installation and plays a positioning role. At the same time, it can also ensure the stable contact between the first electrical connection part 31 and the second electrical connection part 32.

[0048] In this embodiment of the invention, the display screen 6 and the positioning base 20 are coaxially arranged.

[0049] At least two limiting grooves 42 are distributed circumferentially along the axis, and one limiting block 41 is provided along the axis. The setting of multiple limiting grooves 42 allows the display direction of the display screen 6 to be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby meeting different display requirements.

[0050] Specifically, four limiting slots 42 are provided, thereby improving the aesthetics of the display screen 6.

[0051] Specifically, the first electrical connection part 31 is a gold finger, and the second electrical connection part 32 is a flexible pin.

[0052] In this embodiment of the invention, five elastic pins are provided to meet the needs of power supply and data control, wherein the data control pin is used for data transmission of the light or display screen 6.

[0053] Specifically, the cross-section of the limiting block 41 is trapezoidal, which satisfies the installation of five PIN pins and also meets the aesthetic requirements of the design.

[0054] In this embodiment of the utility model, the display screen 6 includes a housing, a PCB board disposed inside the housing, a screen 63 connected to the PCB board, and a light-transmitting layer 60 disposed on the upper wall of the screen 63.

[0055] The first electrical connection part 31 is located on the bottom wall of the PCB board and extends out of the wall of the housing; the screen 63 is an LCD screen or an LED screen.

[0056] Specifically, the swing arm 2 is a hollow structure 5, which is used for cable routing.

[0057] In this embodiment of the utility model, the display screen 6 includes a housing, a PCB board disposed inside the housing, LED lights 61 disposed on the upper wall of the PCB board, and a light shield 62 disposed on the upper wall of the PCB board. The LED lights 61 are arranged along a predetermined pattern, and the light shield is provided with a hollow hole for the light of the LED lights 61 to pass through.

[0058] The first electrical connection part 31 is disposed on the bottom wall of the PCB board and extends out of the wall surface of the housing;

[0059] The upper wall of the light-shielding plate is provided with a light-transmitting layer 60;

[0060] The pattern is a logo, temperature and / or rotation speed, thus meeting existing design requirements.

[0061] The structure using LED lights 61 has a lower cost, but the display effect is relatively simple, such as displaying parameters like temperature, rotation speed, and patterns.

[0062] Other options, such as LCD or LED screens, are more expensive, but different patterns can be input via computer control.

[0063] Specifically, the frame is recessed with a pivot groove, and the swing arm 2 is provided with a pivot shaft 71 extending into the pivot groove. At least one end of the pivot shaft 71 is provided with a damping ring 72, which is used to limit the angle of the swing arm 2. Therefore, the display screen 6 can be flush with the frame or swing to a 90-degree position, or it can swing to a 45-degree position.

[0064] The other frames are connected by splicing modules 8, which allows multiple swing arms 2 to be used simultaneously. For example, three displays 6 are located at different angles, which improves the display effect of the chassis. The other displays 6 can also be set to display different parameters, which reduces the purchase cost. For example, the three fans can be set to display temperature, speed and CPU frequency respectively.

[0065] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
