  • Publication number: 20060245920
    Abstract: A cooling fan assembly includes a housing, a motor mounted in the housing, a fan rotatably mounted in the housing and rotated by the motor, and a cover mounted on the housing to cover the motor and the fan so that the housing and the cover form a space to cover the motor and the fan completely. Thus, the first air guide port of the housing and the second air guide port of the cover co-operate to increase the total air output of the cooling fan assembly, thereby greatly enhancing the air flow rate from the table playing machine, and thereby enhancing the heat dissipation effect of the cooling fan assembly.
