  • Publication number: 20150252813
    Abstract: A backflow prevention device includes a plurality of flaps that are connected pivotally to a casing of a fan. When a blade unit of the fan rotates to generate an airflow entering the casing via an airflow inlet and exiting the casing via an airflow outlet, the flaps are driven to pivot away from the blade unit to open positions, where the flaps serve as stator blades for the fan. When rotation of the blade unit is stopped, the flaps are driven by a reverse flow directed toward the airflow outlet and the blade unit to pivot toward the blade unit to closed positions, where the flaps close the airflow outlet to prevent air from entering the casing via the airflow outlet.

  • Patent number: 8517054
    Abstract: By using a base in cooperation with a moving board, a first flowing area formed by a plurality of openings on the base may be partially blocked by the moving board moving relative to the base, thereby forming a second flowing area that provides different flow resistances. The flow resistance of an adjustable flow resistance device can be adjusted easily and dynamically, without replacing to another device. The flow resistance of the device may also be adjusted to various predefined default settings precisely and speedily by further applying a positioning mechanism that utilizes various predefined positioning holes or a rotary element.
