Patent number: 9651054Abstract: A series fan frame body structure made of different materials includes at least two fans, which are serially connected with each other. The fan frames of the two fans are made of different plastic materials. Accordingly, the excited frequency of the fan is prevented from being close to the natural frequency of the fan frames. Therefore, the vibration frequencies of the fan frames are different from each other so that the co-vibration is reduced to lower the noise. By means of the series fan frame body structure made of different materials, the problem of vibration of the fan is effectively improved.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2014Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: Asia Vital Components Co., Ltd.Inventors: Bor-Haw Chang, Shu-Fan Liu, Shu-Fen Liu

Patent number: 9367103Abstract: A heat dissipation device is arranged in an outer case of an electronic device, and includes an oscillation assembly, an air disturbing member and at least one fixing seat. The oscillation assembly includes a base and an oscillating member provided on the base; and the air disturbing member is connected at a first end to the oscillating member and at an opposite second end to the fixing seat. When an electric power is supplied to the oscillation assembly, the oscillating member is oscillated to thereby vibrate the first end of the air disturbing member, producing a continuous wave of the air disturbing member. The waving air disturbing member in turn disturbs air in the outer case, forcing the air toward a heat source and causing air convection in the outer case to enable largely upgraded heat dissipation efficiency of the electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2013Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: Asia Vital Components Co., Ltd.Inventors: Bor-Haw Chang, Chung-Shu Wang

Patent number: 9353761Abstract: An oil return structure for fan includes a base, a bearing, a retaining ring and a rotor. The base has a bearing cup internally defining a receiving space for receiving the bearing therein. The bearing has a centered and axially extended shaft hole. The retaining ring is located at a front end of the bearing and has a central hole. The rotor includes a hub and a shaft. The shaft is extended through the central hole of the retaining ring into the shaft hole of the bearing, and is provided with an annular groove corresponding to the retaining ring. Oil in the bearing flowing to the annular groove during fan operation is centrifugally pulled out of the shaft and then caught by the retaining ring, from where the oil returns to the bearing. Therefore, loss of oil from the bearing is largely reduced to ensure extended fan service life.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2013Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: ASIA VITAL COMPONENTS CO., LTD.Inventors: Bor-Haw Chang, Ping-Tsang Ho, Chung-Shu Wang, Jyun-Yang Chang
