  • Publication number: 20140119905
    Abstract: A fan structure includes a casing, a fan, and two elastic members. The casing has an accommodation space. The fan is located in the accommodation space. The fan has a first side and a second side opposite to each other. One of the two elastic members is sandwiched between the casing and the first side of the fan. The other one of the two elastic members is sandwiched between the casing and the second side of the fan. The two elastic members normally keep the fan away from the casing, so as to make the fan contact the casing through the two elastic members, thereby achieving a damping effect.
