[0019] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 A computer fan with a structure for holding a light strip 2 includes a frame assembly 1 and at least two sets of fan blade assemblies 3. The fan blade assemblies 3 are disposed on the frame assembly 1. The frame assembly 1 can be installed inside the computer case and dissipates the heat generated by the computer operation that accumulates inside the case through the operation of the fan blade assemblies 3.

[0021] Specifically, the frame assembly 1 includes a base 11 and an outer frame 12 that covers the base 11. There is an accommodating space between the base 11 and the outer frame 12. Several wires (not shown) and a light strip 2 are arranged in the accommodating space. The light strip 2 surrounds the outer periphery of multiple sets of fan blade assemblies 3 and supplies power to the fan blade assemblies 3 and the light strip 2 through the wires.

[0022] Specifically, the base 11 is roughly rectangular in shape, but can also be elliptical or other shapes, and the outer frame 12 has the same shape as the base 11. The base 11 and the outer frame 12 can be made of engineering plastics such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT).

[0023] This can be understood as follows: the base 11 fixes the outer frame 12 and multiple sets of fan blade assemblies 3, and can be installed inside the computer case. Specifically, the base 11 can be installed at the heat dissipation vent of the computer case to dissipate the heat generated by the computer host working inside the case through the computer fan. Alternatively, the base 11 can also be installed next to components such as the motherboard and CPU to provide heat dissipation for the corresponding components. Specifically, multiple first locking holes 112 can be provided at intervals on the outer periphery near the base 11, and second locking holes 122 corresponding to the first locking holes 112 are provided on the outer periphery near the outer frame 12. The frame assembly 1 is locked to the heat dissipation vent of the case or next to the host components by passing the fastener through the second locking holes 122 and the first locking holes 112.

[0024] This can be understood as follows: the base 11 has at least two mounting portions 111 arranged side by side; the outer frame 12 has a first receiving hole 121 corresponding to each mounting portion 111; each mounting portion 111 is connected to a fan blade assembly 3, and the fan blade assembly 3 is placed within the first receiving hole 121. More specifically, each mounting portion 111 has a protruding pivot 113 in the middle; several connecting holes are provided next to the pivot 113; a motor (not shown) is connected to each pivot 113, and the motor is locked to the base 11 using screws or other fasteners passing through the connecting holes. Each fan blade assembly 3 is placed on and connected to each motor; wires connect to the motor to supply power, enabling the motor to operate; the motor drives the fan blade assembly 3 to rotate for heat dissipation. In this embodiment, refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the base 11 has two mounting portions 111 arranged side by side, and the number of fan blade assemblies 3 is also two sets, with the fan blade assemblies 3 corresponding to the mounting portions 111. In another embodiment, referring to... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the base 11 has three mounting portions 111 arranged side by side, and the number of fan blade assemblies 3 is also three sets, with the fan blade assemblies 3 corresponding to the mounting portions 111.

[0025] Specifically, in order to fix the light strip 2 within the accommodating space, a first partition wall 1111 is provided around the outer periphery of each mounting part 111. An opening 114 is provided between the first partition wall 1111 and the pivot position 113, and multiple connecting walls 1141 connect the first partition wall 1111 and the pivot position 113 through the opening 114. Multiple limiting posts 1112 are evenly provided around the outer periphery of the first partition wall 1111, and the height of the limiting posts 1112 is higher than the height of the first partition wall 1111. A placement position 1113 is provided between each limiting post 1112 and the first partition wall 1111, and the height of each placement position 1113 is lower than the height of the limiting post 1112 and the first partition wall 1111. The light strip 2 is placed on the placement position 1113 and arranged around each first partition wall 1111. Furthermore, at the interval between each pair of first partitions 1111, where the light strip 2 may droop due to lack of support, at least two support pieces 1114 are provided between each pair of first partitions 1111, with the two support pieces 1114 spaced apart. Moreover, each support piece 1114 has a support groove 1115 recessed at its upper end, and the light strip 2 is inserted into the support groove 1115 to help the light strip 2 transition and wrap between the two first partitions 1111. More specifically, two support plates 1114 are respectively disposed on both sides of the same center line along the plurality of first partitions 1111 and between the two first partitions 1111. After the light strip 2 wraps around the first first partition 1111 and is placed in the corresponding placement position 1113, the two ends of the light strip 2 are respectively locked in the support grooves 1115 of the support plates 1114 on both sides between the first first partition 1111 and the second first partition 1111, and continue to wrap around the second first partition 1111 and be placed in the corresponding placement position 1113. The two ends of the light strip 2 continue to be locked on both sides between the second first partition 1111 and the third first partition 1111. The light strip 2 is placed in the support groove 1115 of the support plate 1114, and then continues to wrap around the third first partition 1111 and is placed on the corresponding placement position 1113. More precisely, the light strip 2 does not wrap around and fit each first partition 1111. Instead, the light strip 2 cannot wrap around the adjacent wall between two adjacent first partitions 1111, but continues through the support groove 1115 to the next first partition 1111. This allows the light strip 2 to stably wrap around multiple first partitions 1111 and be fixed on the placement position 1113. The light strip 2 can then cover each mounting part 111, so that when the light strip 2 is lit, the light of the computer fan can be uniform and beautiful.

[0026] Specifically, a second partition wall 1211 is provided around the outer periphery of the first receiving hole 121 of the outer frame 12, and the shape of the second partition wall 1211 corresponds to the shape formed by the multiple limiting posts 1112. Moreover, an upper cover 13 is provided on the outer frame 12 facing the first receiving hole 121, and a second receiving hole 131 is opened in the middle of the upper cover 13 to accommodate the fan blade assembly 3. In particular, a third partition wall 132 is provided around the outer periphery of the second receiving hole 131. When the base 11 and the outer frame 12 are closed and the upper cover 13 is inserted into the first receiving hole 121, the third partition wall 132 corresponds to the first partition wall 1111, and the third partition wall 132 is restricted by the multiple limiting posts 1112 and cannot be displaced, thereby ensuring the stability of the position after the base 11, the outer frame 12 and the upper cover 13 are closed. To further restrict the top cover 13 from rotating within the first receiving hole 121, the third partition wall 132 has positioning pieces 133 protruding from both sides of the base 11 in the first direction. Each first partition wall 1111 has a positioning groove 1116 corresponding to the positioning piece 133 in the first direction. When the top cover 13 is inserted into the first receiving hole 121, the top cover 13 is restricted by the positioning piece 133 and cannot move in the circumferential direction, thereby ensuring the stable installation of the top cover 13.

[0027] In order to securely connect the base 11 and the outer frame 12 into one unit, the base 11 is provided with a plurality of first fastening holes 115 evenly around the periphery near the mounting part 111, and the outer frame 12 is provided with a plurality of second fastening holes 123 corresponding to the first fastening holes 115. Fasteners are passed through the first fastening holes 115 and the second fastening holes 123 to securely connect the base 11 and the outer frame 12.

[0028] Specifically, the fan blade assembly 3 includes blades 31, a cover ring 32, and a cover plate 33. A base is positioned in the center of the blades 31, and a ring of positioning holes is formed on the base. The outer periphery of the cover ring 32 has positioning protrusions corresponding to the positioning holes. The positioning protrusions insert into the positioning holes, connecting the cover ring 32 to the base. Furthermore, a positioning platform is positioned in the center of the cover ring 32, and the cover plate 33 covers the positioning platform. The cover ring 32 and the cover plate 33 can be customized in terms of their surface finish to achieve diverse aesthetic effects for the computer fan.
