  • Patent number: 11962225
    Abstract: A fan braking structure includes a fan including a frame having an upright bearing cup, and a fan impeller having a vertical rotating shaft pivotally received in the bearing cup and provided at a free end with a groove; a braking structure located at a lower part of the bearing cup and including a brake plate and an electromagnet, and the brake plate being provided at one side with a protruded brake pin and at another side with a magnetic member; and an elastic element disposed between and pressed against a top of the shell and the brake plate. When the fan is inactive, the electromagnet is energized to produce magnetic poles that repel the magnetic member and compress the elastic element, such that the brake pin is magnetically pushed toward the rotating shaft to engage with the groove, causing the fan to brake and stop rotating inertially.

  • Patent number: 11933311
    Abstract: A fan brake structure includes a fan and a brake device. The fan has a frame body, a fan impeller and a stator. The brake device is disposed under a bottom of a bearing cup. The brake device has a driving member, a brake member and an elastic member. The elastic member abuts against one end of the brake member. The other end of the brake member has a boss body. The driving member has a spiral rail. When the driving member rotates, the boss body moves along the spiral rail, whereby the brake member linearly reciprocally moves upward to brake the fan impeller or linearly reciprocally moves downward to release the fan impeller from the braking.

When the fan is powered off, the electromagnet is energized and produces magnetic poles that magnetically repel the magnetic member, such that the brake pin is pushed by a magnetic force and the elastic element toward the rotating shaft to engage with the groove, causing the fan to brake and stop rotating inertially.
