BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONA conventional heat-dissipation fan 10 as illustrated in
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a fan structure comprising a base, a bearing module and a rotor, wherein the base comprises a coupling hole. The bearing module is disposed at the coupling hole and includes a hollow cylinder body, a bearing, a blocking member and a limiting member. The hollow cylinder body is at least composed of a ring wall and an accommodating hole surrounded by the ring wall, wherein the ring wall has an outer ring wall, an inner ring wall and a limiting slot recessed from the inner ring wall. The bearing is disposed at the accommodating hole and comprises a top surface, a bottom surface and an axial hole. The blocking member is disposed at the limiting slot and located on top of the bearing, an accommodating space is formed between the blocking member and the bearing, the blocking member has a body portion and a blocking portion extendedly formed at the body portion, wherein the body portion is embedded into the limiting slot, the blocking portion is protruded to the inner ring wall of the ring wall and located at the accommodating hole. The limiting member is disposed at the accommodating space and comprises a body, a plurality of limiting plates extendedly formed at inside of the body, a plurality of penetrating slots and a penetrating hole is in communication with the penetrating slots, each of the penetrating slots is located between adjacent limiting plates, the limiting member includes a front end portion, and the blocking portion of the blocking member is provided for contacting against the limiting member. The rotor includes a rotating shaft having a ring slot, the rotating shaft is penetrated through the penetration hole of the limiting member and the axial hole of the bearing, and the front end portion of each of the limiting plates is inserted into the ring slot. For the first reason that the front end portion of each of the limiting plates is inserted into the ring slot of the rotating shaft, the second reason that the body portion of the blocking member is embedded into the limiting slot, the third reason that the blocking portion is in contact with the limiting member, therefore, which may prevent the rotating shaft of the rotor to depart from the bearing module.
