  • Publication number: 20050220608
    Abstract: An axial flow fan includes a frame, a driving device and a fan blade part. The driving device is disposed in the frame and the fan blade part provides a hub member and a plurality of fan blades attached to the outer rim of the hub member and the hub member engaging with the driving device. It is characterized in that the fan blades are disposed outside the frame and the lower edges of the fan blades are flush with or higher than the upper edge of the frame.

  • Patent number: 6869269
    Abstract: A fan device with increased airflow output is provided, which includes: a frame having an air inlet and an air outlet, and formed with an opening penetrating through the frame; and a rotating mechanism received in the opening of the frame and connected to a driving mechanism that drives the rotating mechanism to rotate, the rotating mechanism being composed of a hub and a plurality of blades peripherally mounted to the hub, wherein each of the blades is formed with at least an extending portion, and the extending portions are adapted to expose to the air inlet for increasing contact area between the blades and ambient air. By the above fan device with increased air intake, pressure and quantity of airflow outputted from the fan device can be desirably enhanced, so as to achieve optimal heat dissipation effect for an electronic device mounted with the fan device.

  • Publication number: 20050025619
    Abstract: An outlet airflow direction control device includes a fan and a frame. The frame has an inlet and an outlet via which an amount of fluid flows into and out of the frame, and is internally provided at the outlet with a hub seat for supporting the fan thereon. A plurality of fluid control elements are radially provided between the frame and the hub seat to connect them to each other. Each of the fluid control elements is connected at an outer end, which forms a directional-guide section, to the frame, and at an inner end, which forms a connecting section, to the hub seat. The directional-guide section has an area larger than that of the connecting section, so that the fluid control elements are adapted to control a flow direction of the fluid flown out of the outlet of the frame.

  • Publication number: 20050008478
    Abstract: An outlet airflow direction control device mainly includes a frame and a fan. The frame has an inlet and an outlet via which an amount of fluid flows into and out of the frame, and is internally provided at a predetermined position with a hub seat. The hub seat is provided on a peripheral wall with a plurality of radially projected fluid control elements. The fan is mounted on the hub seat in the frame. When the fan is rotated to cause an amount of fluid to flow through the outlet of the frame, the fluid control elements are adapted to control a flow direction of the fluid flown out of the outlet.

  • Patent number: 6773239
    Abstract: A fan with improved self-cooling capability having a frame, a stator, a magnetic ring, an iron case, and a rotor blade impeller. The frame has a base for containing the stator, and the stator is provided with at least a coil. The magnetic ring is magnetically coupled to the stator, and the iron case is coupled to the magnetic ring while being provided with at least a first heat dissipation hole. The rotor blade impeller is formed on the iron case, in which at least a second heat dissipation hole aligned to the first heat dissipation hole is formed on a hub of the rotor blade impeller, and the first heat dissipation hole and the second heat dissipation hole are not formed to directly align to a position of the coil.

  • Patent number: 6746205
    Abstract: A fan frame for use with a fan is provided, which includes: a frame body having a top side and a bottom side opposed to the top side; an opening formed through the top and bottom sides of the frame body, allowing a plurality of blades of the fan to be received in the opening; and at least a recessed portion formed on the frame body at a position outside the opening and connected to the opening. By rotation of the blades of the fan, air is adapted to enter via the top side of the frame body into the opening directly and also through the recessed portion into the opening, so as to facilitate air intake and wind output for the fan as well as to improve heat dissipation efficiency as the fan is mounted to an electronic device.
