  • Publication number: 20140099200
    Abstract: A fan structure includes a rotation module, a fixing shaft and an impeller, the rotation module comprises a coupling base, a bearing and a sealing member. The bearing comprises an axial hole, an outer ring wall and a through hole, a slot is recessed from the outer ring wall, the through hole communicates with the slot and the axial hole, and the slot is sealed by the sealing member to form an oil storage space. The fixing shaft penetrates the axial hole, and the through hole communicates with the axial hole and the oil storage space. When the rotation module rotates, lubricants in the oil storage space can flow from the through hole to the axial hole for lubricating the fixing shaft and the axial hole. When the rotation module stops, lubricants in the axial hole reflow to the oil storage space via the through hole to avoid loss.
