  • Publication number: 20130149155
    Abstract: A rotor shaft includes a main body having a central portion and an extension portion. The extension portion has a plurality of extension sections radially outward extended from the central portion by different distances to together define a peripheral surface and a non-circular cross section of the main body. In a cooling fan using the rotor shaft, the main body of the rotor shaft is received in a shaft space internally defined by a bearing of the fan, and a lubricant is filled in a space left between the main body and the shaft space. With the non-circular cross section of the main body of the rotor shaft, the lubricant filled between the rotor shaft and the shaft space can have increased support pressure to thereby reduce the noise and vibration caused by frictional contact of the rotor shaft with the bearing during the operation of the cooling fan.

  • Publication number: 20130149140
    Abstract: A bearing structure includes a main body internally defining a shaft space; the shaft space axially extends a full length of the main body and communicates with at least one extension space; and the extension space is radially outward extended from the shaft space and also axially extends a full length of the main body. The shaft space has a non-circular cross section. In a cooling fan using the bearing structure, a rotor shaft is inserted in the shaft space. With the shaft space having a non-circular cross section, it is possible to largely increase the support pressure of a lubricant filled between the rotor shaft and the shaft space and accordingly, reduce the frictional contact between the rotor shaft and the shaft space as well as the noise and vibration produced during the operation of the cooling fan.

  • Publication number: 20130142645
    Abstract: An oil-retaining bearing fan device includes a fan base seat, at least one oil-retaining bearing and at least one magnetic member. The oil-retaining bearing is disposed in a bearing hole of the fan base seat. The oil-retaining bearing has at least one receiving hole for receiving the magnetic member therein.

  • Publication number: 20080138199
    Abstract: A fan device capable of increasing air pressure and air supply includes a frame, a first blade wheel, a second blade wheel and a guide flow part. The frame is a hollow casing to define a flow passage with a first air port and a second air port available for air passing through. The guide flow part is held with a support in the flow passage and a driving device is received in the support. The first blade wheel with first fan blades and the second blade wheel with second fan blades are disposed in the flow passage next to the support for being driven by the driving device. The number of the first fan blades is more than that of the second fan blades. Once the first and second fan wheels are in operation, air induced by the fan wheels is guided by the guide flow part and air pressure and air supply of the fan system are increased substantively due to number of the first fan blades being greater than that of the second fan blades.
