  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20130052494
    Abstract: A power storage device is provided with an upper cover, a cell module and a lower cover. A tab joint portion is locally formed at each of two sides of the cell module to be welded and assembled with a tab. When welded with the tab joint portion, the tab merely needs to be placed horizontally or be slightly at an inclination angle, and one-time bending is performed on an electrical connection part on the tab, so as to be electrically connected to an electrode of the upper cover. Therefore, the situation that a plasticized metal protective film wrapped on the outer edge of the tab or the cell module is easy to crack caused of many times of bending in the prior art can be improved.
