Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fan technology, and in particular to a fan hardware serial connection structure with hidden wires. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of technology, electronic products are becoming more and more common in our lives. Electronic products tend to generate a lot of heat during use. If they are not cooled, they are easily burned out. Cooling fans, as a low-cost and reliable way to dissipate heat, are widely used to achieve multi-scenario application of fans.

[0003] However, during the implementation of the above technical solution, at least the following technical problems were discovered:

[0004] 1. Exposed wires: Existing fans are mainly connected by plugging them in. Since each fan has a relatively independent power supply, each fan corresponds to a row of wires. This means that not only do you need to set up a wiring port during installation, but the fan connection wires are also exposed, resulting in redundant wiring and easily affecting the tidiness of the internal space of the chassis.

[0005] 2. Cumbersome installation and poor stability: Existing modular fans can be connected to form a "whole" while each fan is a relatively independent unit. Because of this characteristic, it is necessary to ensure that each fan can be effectively fixed during installation. That is, each fan needs to be fixed with at least four bolts. Compared with integrated fans (which require four or six bolts for fixing), this seriously affects the installation efficiency. To address this, we propose a fan hardware serial connection structure with hidden wires. Utility Model Content

[0010] A fan hardware series connection structure with concealed wiring, the series connection structure comprising:

[0011] Fan bracket;

[0012] A wiring assembly mounted on the fan bracket is used to electrically connect two interconnected fan brackets;

[0013] The wiring assembly includes a female connector and a male connector respectively disposed at both ends of the fan bracket, and both the female connector and the male connector are electrically connected to the fan on the fan bracket via wires.

[0014] When the two fan brackets are connected in series, the female connector on one fan bracket is plugged into the male connector on the other fan bracket. The two fan brackets connected in series are electrically connected by the mutual plugging of the female and male connectors.

[0015] Preferably, the wiring assembly is located on the side of the fan bracket.

[0016] Preferably, the side of the fan bracket where the wiring assembly is located is a series splicing surface, and the fan bracket has at least two series splicing surfaces. When the fan brackets are connected, the series splicing surfaces fit together.

[0017] Preferably, the male connector has pins that are adapted to the sockets on the female connector, and the pins and sockets are connected to each other during series connection.

[0018] Preferably, the wiring assembly is detachably connected to the fan bracket.

[0019] Preferably, the electrical connection is a control signal and power supply connection.

[0020] Preferably, the fan bracket is provided with a plug-in assembly, the plug-in assembly including an extension plate and a clamping plate respectively disposed at both ends of the fan bracket, and the number of clamping plates is two sets, which are parallel to each other;

[0026] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0027] 1. By setting male and female connectors that can be connected to each other at both ends of the fan bracket, and connecting the electrical equipment inside the fan bracket to the male and female connectors with wires, the two adjacent fans can be spliced ​​by plugging in the male and female connectors during assembly. At the same time, since the electrical equipment inside the fan bracket is connected to the male and female connectors with wires, current can flow through one fan to the other fan, thereby completing the connection (electrical connection) of the fans and hiding the wires.

[0028] 2. By using an extension plate and clamping plate with through holes as the fan's extension structure, adjacent fans can be connected by inserting the extension plate between the two clamping plates. The through holes on the extension plate and clamping plates should align vertically. This allows for the simultaneous installation of two adjacent fans with only one set of bolts. Furthermore, since the bolts connect the two fans, they can be used as an auxiliary connection structure to secure the connection points, improving the strength of the connection. Therefore, this effectively solves the technical problems of cumbersome installation and poor stability in existing modular fans, enabling rapid fan installation and connection while ensuring the stability of the connection between adjacent fans for convenient subsequent processing.

[0045] This application provides a fan hardware series connection structure with concealed wires, effectively solving the technical problems of cumbersome installation and poor stability in existing combined fans. It utilizes an extension plate and clamping plates as fan extensions. Adjacent fans can be connected by inserting the extension plate into the two clamping plates, ensuring the through holes on the extension plate and clamping plates align vertically. This allows for installation of adjacent fans with only one set of bolts. Simultaneously, the bolts reinforce the connection between adjacent fans, enabling rapid fan installation and connection while ensuring the stability of the connection for convenient subsequent processing.

[0046] Example 1: The technical solution in this application effectively solves the technical problems of cumbersome installation and poor stability of existing combined fans during use. The overall idea is as follows:

[0047] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a fan hardware series connection structure with concealed wires. This series structure mainly consists of three parts: first, the fan body, including the outer casing and the fan 2 mounted on the casing; second, the series connection structure between the fans, connected by a plug-in method, i.e., a "protrusion" pin is provided on one side of the fan; a groove corresponding to the pin is provided on the other side, thus forming the two structures required for plug-in connection. When the pin is inserted into the groove, the two fans can be connected together; and finally, the connection structure between the fan and the chassis (i.e., bolts 4), which simultaneously connects the fan and the chassis, fixing the fan to the chassis. The specific structure is as follows:

[0048] The fan body is the same as the existing fan structure. We use a base 11 and a top cover 12 that can be interlocked as the fan housing. The LED light strip 13 is placed between the base 11 and the top cover 12 by clamping. When the base 11 and the top cover 12 are interlocked, the LED light strip 13 can be clamped and fixed. In addition, in order to support the fan 2 and ensure that all parts are placed on the base 11 when the base 11 and the top cover 12 are separated, we set a positioning seat 14 with four legs on the base 11. The other end of the legs is connected to the inner wall of the base 11, and the fan 2 sits on the positioning seat 14.

[0049] To conceal the wiring, we referenced existing modular fans and incorporated interlocking female and male connectors 33 and 34 into the housing. These connectors are then embedded on both sides of the housing and electrically connected (for control signals and power supply) to the fan 2 and LED strip 13 via wires. When connecting two fans, the male connector 34 and female connector 33 at the fan connection point are plugged in, connecting the wiring within the two fans in series. Similarly, after connecting the fans, the external connector 5 with the female connector 33 is plugged into the male connector 34 on the combined fan 2. Then, the wires on the external connector 5 (connected to the female connector 33) are connected to the power supply on the chassis, allowing the chassis to power the series-connected fans.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] Based on Example 1, this application provides a feasible series structure, and the overall concept is as follows:

[0052] For the series structure, we still use the common plug-in connection method, but unlike the traditional series connection method for two fans, we use an extension method, making the through holes (threaded cylinder 35, such as...) on adjacent fans... Figure 5 As shown, they correspond to each other, so that a single bolt 4 can be used to fix one corner of the two fans. For example, the extension plate 31 with through holes and the clamping plate 32 are arranged in two sets and are parallel to each other. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the female connector 33 is mounted on the extension plate 31, and the male connector 34 is mounted on the fan bracket 1, located in the gap between the two clamping plates 32. Thus, when the two fans are connected, the fan installation can be completed by inserting the extension plate 31 between the two clamping plates 32. Figure 4As shown, during the insertion process, the female connector 33 on the extension plate 31 corresponds to the male connector 34 on the clamping plate 32. After the two fans are connected, the female connector 33 and the male connector 34 at the connection point are also inserted. At the same time, the through holes on the extension plate 31 and the through holes on the clamping plate 32 are vertically aligned, as shown. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the extension plate 31 and the clamping plate 32 can be connected by bolt 4.

[0053] In the specific implementation process, when connecting the fans, the extension plate 31 on the outside of one fan is aligned with the clamping plate 32 on the outside of the other fan. Then, the extension plate 31 is inserted between the two clamping plates 32. Since the female connector 33 is set on the extension plate 31 and the male connector 34 is set on the fan bracket 1 and located in the gap between the two clamping plates 32, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, during the insertion process, the female connector 33 on the extension plate 31 corresponds to the male connector 34 between the clamping plate 32. After the two fans are connected, the female connector 33 and the male connector 34 at the connection point are also inserted. At the same time, the through holes on the extension plate 31 and the through holes on the clamping plate 32 are vertically aligned, as shown. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this simultaneously completes the docking between fans, electrical connection, and positioning of subsequent bolt 4 installation positions.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
