  • Electronic device having a deformation sensor on a fan module of a fan and using a controller to monitor the deformation sensor and control operation of the fan based on a deformation signal of the sensor
    Patent number: 10936028
    Abstract: An electronic device and a method for controlling a fan operation are provided. A containing space of the electronic device has a fan module and a deformation sensor. The deformation sensor detects whether a fan housing of the fan module is deformed. The deformation sensor transmits a deformation signal to a controller when detecting that the fan housing is deformed. The controller drives a fan blade of the fan module to stop running after receiving the deformation signal.

  • FAN MODULE
    Publication number: 20150098844
    Abstract: A fan module used in an electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes an upper cover and a lower cover. The fan module includes a fan housing, a fixing shaft, a bearing, and a fan body. The fan housing is mounted on the lower cover. The fixing shaft includes a first end and a second end. The first end is mounted on the fan housing. The second end passes out of the fan housing. The bearing includes a first ring and a second ring. The first ring is pivotally connected to the second ring. The first ring is disposed around the outer edge of the fixing shaft. The fan body is disposed around the outer edge of the second ring, so as to rotate relative to the fixing shaft.
