The fan blade assembly has a fan blade hub with at least a slant at the circumference thereof and an air opening and a flow passage being formed with the slant corresponding to the fan base such that part of fluid driven by the fan can be guided into the fan blade hub to cool the motor unit so as to prolong life span of the entire fan.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of Invention

The present invention is related to a radiation device of a fan and particularly to a fan in which a support base incorporated with size and configuration of a hub and once fluid is driven to move, a part of the fluid passes through a heat generation object and another part of the fluid is guided into the hub to cool the motor received in the hub effectively.

2. Brief Description of Related Art

Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional fan assembly includes a fan frame 11 and a hub 12. The fan frame 11 has a support base 111 inside with a hollow axial barrel 112. The axial barrel 112 is attached with a bearing 113 inside and a stator 13 outside such that the stator 13 can be located at the support base 111. The hub 12 is a shield member with a closed end and an open end with a shield cover 14 inside. The shield cover 14 has a closed end and an open end too and an annular rotor 15 is attached to the inner side of the shield cover 14. The hub 12 provides a plurality of radial shaped fan blades 121. A spindle 16 connects with the hub 12 and the shield cover 14 at an end thereof and passes through the bearing 113 at another end thereof to allow the hub 12 and the shield cover 14 movably connect with the support base 111. When the stator 13 and the rotor 15 are magnetized, the hub 12 and the shield cover 14 is driven to rotate with fan blades 121 due to change of phase such that fluid moves to cool the heat dissipation object.

However, all the fluid 13 moved by the conventional fan only passes through the heat generation object (not shown) but heat can be generated between the stator 13 and the rotor 15 he fan blades 121. Heat exchange rate between the preceding heat and the outside air is low due to the shield cover 14 being completely enclosed in the hub 12 and it results in a great deal part of the heat stays in the shield cover 14 not only to decrease life span of the fan itself but also to increase heat of the entire system.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a radiation device of a fan with which a support base incorporated with size and configuration of a hub such that a part of the fluid passes through a heat generation object and another part of the fluid is guided into the hub to cool the motor received in the hub effectively.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a radiation device of a fan with which air current created by the fluid directed into the fan blade hub can decrease swinging of the fan.

In order to achieve the preceding objects, the radiation device of a fan according to the present invention includes a fan blade assembly, a fan base attached to the fan blade assembly and a motor unit attached to the fan base. The fan blade assembly has a fan blade hub with at least a slant at the circumference thereof and an air opening and a flow passage being formed with the slant corresponding to the fan base such that part of fluid driven by the fan can be guided into the fan blade hub to cool the motor unit so as to prolong life span of the entire fan.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring to FIG. 2, a preferred embodiment of a radiation device of a fan according to the present invention includes a fan blade assembly 10, a motor unit 20 and a fan base 30. The fan blade assembly 10 is composed of a fan blade hub 11, a shaft 12, a motor case 13 and a magnetic strip 15. The shaft 12 is disposed in the center of the fan blade hub 11 and a shaft seat 111 is provided at the central bottom of the fan blade hub 11. The motor case 13 is disposed at the inner wall surface of the fan blade hub 11 and the magnetic strip 15 is located at the inner wall surface of motor case 15.

The motor unit 20 is attached to the fan blade seat 30 and is composed of a insulation frame 21, silicone steel sheets 22, a circuit board 23, a coil 24. The silicone steel sheets are provided at the outer side of the insulation frame 21 and surround the insulation frame 21 with the coil 24. The fan seat 30 has a central axial seat 31 and the circuit board 23 is disposed between the bottom of the insulation frame 21 and the axial seat 31. The shaft 12 is received in a chamber formed in the axial seat 31 and a bearing 32 is disposed between the shaft 12 and axial seat 31 and fits with the shaft 12 such that the shaft 12 can rotate with being supported by the bearing 32. An oil ring R is provided between the bearing 32 and the fan blade hub 11.

The axial seat 31 has a projection part 311 and an engaging part 312 and the shaft 12 has a circular shape at an end thereof, which is without connecting with the fan blade hub 11, and the end engages with a retaining ring 14. The shaft 12 can prevent from escaping from the axial seat 31 by way of the projection part 311 interfering with retaining ring 14 and resisting function of the engaging part 312. The fan blade hub 11 at least has a slant 110 at the circumference thereof such as a slant shown in FIGS. 2, a plurality of slants shown in FIGS. 3, 5 and 6 and the circumference of the fan base 30 being surrounded with slants as shown in FIG. 7. Part of fluid driven by the fan can be guided into the fan blade hub 11 by way of an air opening A and a flow passage formed with the slant 110 corresponding to the fan base 30 such that a motor received in the fan blade hub 11 can be cooled so as to decrease swinging of the fan due to the fluid flowing toward the fan blade hub 11 in addition to prolonging life span of the entire fan.

While the invention has been described with referencing to the preferred embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that modifications or variations may be easily made without departing from the spirit of this invention, which is defined by the appended claims.
