Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling fan technology, specifically a splicing fan with a magnetic bracket. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of computer hardware cooling, fans are an indispensable key component. Currently, there are many types of computer fans on the market, including common ones such as axial fans and centrifugal fans, which are widely used in various scenarios such as CPU cooling, chassis cooling, and graphics card cooling. Traditional computer fans generally have a fairly conventional structural design, typically consisting of fan blades, a motor, and a casing. They are usually installed in a fixed manner, secured to a specific location on the computer case or heatsink using screws.

[0003] In scenarios requiring combined cooling with multiple fans, such as large server cases or multi-GPU cooling systems, traditional fan assembly methods are cumbersome. There's a lack of effective, quick assembly structures between multiple fans, typically requiring additional brackets and numerous screws for secure connection. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to insecure connections, leading to vibration and noise during fan operation, affecting cooling performance and the stability of computer hardware. The installation and removal of traditional computer fans is also complex. Because screws are used for fixing, users need to precisely align the screw holes and tighten the screws with tools during installation, and similarly, loosen the screws sequentially during removal. For computer cases with limited space or inconvenient locations, installing and removing fans becomes even more difficult. To address this problem, the inventors have proposed a fan assembly method with a magnetic bracket. Utility Model Content

[0017] 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.

[0018] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model discloses a splicing fan with a magnetic bracket, including a support component, a limiting component, a fan component, and a splicing component. The limiting component is located on the inner side wall of the support component to facilitate limiting the fan. The fan component is located on the inner side walls of both the support component and the limiting component. The splicing component is located on the inner side wall of the support component to facilitate splicing the fan. The splicing component includes a buckle 41 and a magnetic block 42. The buckle 41 is located on the upper surface of the support component, and multiple buckles 41 are provided and spaced apart. The magnetic block 42 is located on the upper surface of the support component to facilitate magnetic attraction of the fan.

[0019] Specifically, both the clips 41 and the magnetic blocks 42 are located on the upper surface of the base 12 of the support assembly. When multiple fans need to be assembled, the base 12 of one fan is brought close to the base 12 of another fan, and initial positioning is achieved first through the clips 41. Multiple clips 41 are provided at intervals to ensure accuracy and stability during assembly, preventing misalignment of the fans. Then, the magnetic force of the magnetic blocks 42 is used to firmly attach the bases 12 of the two fans together, achieving a quick and secure assembly. This assembly method eliminates the need for additional brackets and numerous screws, greatly simplifying the assembly process and improving efficiency. It is particularly suitable for multi-fan cooling scenarios such as large server chassis or multi-graphics card cooling systems.

[0020] The fan assembly includes a fan motor 33 and a motor protective sleeve 34. The fan motor 33 is located on the inner wall of the limiting assembly, and the protective sleeve is fitted on the outer side of the fan motor 33 to protect the fan motor 33. One end of the fan motor 33 is provided with a rotating shaft 35, and one end of the rotating shaft 35 is provided with a transmission gear 36. One end of the transmission gear 36 is provided with a mounting groove 32, and one end of the mounting groove 32 is provided with a fan body 31 for dissipating heat.

[0021] Specifically, the fan motor 33 is mounted on the inner wall of the limiting post 21 of the limiting assembly and is protected by the motor protective sleeve 34. The motor protective sleeve 34 effectively prevents dust, debris, and other contaminants from entering the motor, extending its service life. When the motor is powered on, the electromagnetic induction inside the motor causes the rotor to rotate, which in turn drives the connected rotating shaft 35 to rotate. The transmission gear 36 at one end of the rotating shaft 35 rotates accordingly. The transmission gear 36 is connected to the fan body 31 through the mounting slot 32 on it, transmitting the rotational power to the fan body 31, causing the fan blades of the fan body 31 to rotate at high speed, thereby generating airflow to dissipate heat from the computer hardware and achieve the purpose of heat dissipation.

[0022] The limiting component includes a limiting post 21 and a receiving groove 22. The limiting post 21 is located on the inner wall of the support component, and the receiving groove 22 is opened on the inner wall of the support component. The fan motor 33 is located on the inner wall of the limiting post 21.

[0023] Specifically, the limiting post 21 is set on the support base 13 on the inner side wall of the support component frame 11, and the fan motor 33 is located on the inner side wall of the limiting post 21. Through the physical blocking effect of the limiting post 21, the position of the fan motor 33 can be precisely limited, preventing radial and axial displacement of the motor during operation and ensuring that the motor is always in a stable working state. The receiving slot 22 is opened on the inner side wall of the frame 11 and can be used to place some auxiliary components or circuits related to fan operation, making the internal structure of the fan more regular and facilitating installation and maintenance.

[0024] The support assembly includes a frame 11 and a base 12. The frame 11 is located on the upper surface of the base 12, the buckle 41 is located on the upper surface of the base 12, the magnetic block 42 is located on the upper surface of the base 12, the receiving groove 22 is located on the inner side wall of the frame 11, and the inner side wall of the frame 11 is provided with a support seat 13 for supporting the fan. The limiting post 21 is located on the inner side wall of the support seat 13.

[0025] Specifically, the support assembly, as the basic structure of the entire fan, consists of a frame 11 and a base 12. The frame 11 is located on the upper surface of the base 12, providing a stable mounting frame 11 for the various components of the fan. The support seat 13 provided on the inner side wall of the frame 11 provides a reliable support point for the fan assembly, ensuring that the fan can remain stable during operation and will not shift or shake due to its own vibration or external forces.

[0026] The upper surface of the frame 11 is provided with shock-absorbing pads 1, and multiple shock-absorbing pads 1 are provided and spaced apart.

[0027] Specifically, the multiple anti-vibration pads 1 spaced apart on the upper surface of the frame 11 play an important role in vibration damping and noise reduction during fan operation. When the fan motor 33 drives the fan body 31 to rotate at high speed, some vibration is inevitable. This vibration is transmitted to the surrounding environment through the support components, thus generating noise. The anti-vibration pads 1 have good elasticity and shock absorption performance, which can absorb and buffer the vibration generated by the fan, reduce the transmission of vibration to the surrounding environment, and thus reduce the noise generated by vibration, creating a quiet operating environment for users, while also helping to improve the stability of computer hardware.

[0028] Clips 41 and magnetic blocks 42 are spaced apart on the upper surface of the support assembly. Clips 41 are also located on the upper surface of the support assembly. When multiple fans are assembled, they are initially positioned by clips 41, and then the magnetic force of the magnetic blocks 42 is used to achieve quick and stable assembly. No additional brackets or a large number of screws are required, which greatly simplifies the assembly process, saves assembly time, improves assembly efficiency, and ensures the stability and reliability of the fan assembly.
