Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to the field of combined fan, and, in particular, to a combined fan structure.


BACKGROUND ART

Air cooling is generally used in the heat dissipation of desktop computer mainframe. The heat energy generated by the processor, graphics card and other hardware in the computer mainframe is discharged in time through the cooling fan, so as to ensure the normal and efficient operation of the computer. However, the hardwares with different configuration in the computer mainframe have different cooling requirements. As the configuration of hardware is constantly updated, the fans used for cooling of computer mainframe must be updated with upgrading of hardware configuration, in order to meet the cooling requirements of the hardware.


In order to improve the cooling effect of the fan and reduce noise, a plurality of fans are often used. In the related art, the fans of computer mainframe are usually mounted in such a way, that a plurality of small fans are fixedly mounted together on a fan carrier and the circuit between the plurality of fans is closed to form a combined fan. Then this combined fan is mounted in the computer mainframe.


Regarding to the above-mentioned related art, the inventor believes that after replacing the hardware in computer mainframe, the cooling requirements also change accordingly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present application will be described in further detail below with reference to FIGS. 1-7.


The embodiment of the present application discloses a combined fan structure. Referring to FIG. 1, the combined fan structure includes two sub-fans 1 and a connector 2 between the two adjacent sub-fans 1. The sub-fan 1 includes an impeller mounting shell 3 and an impeller assembly 4 on the impeller mounting shell 3. The impeller assembly 4 drives the impeller to rotate through a motor fixed on the impeller mounting shell 3.


Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the impeller mounting shell 3 has a square sectional shape. Two sockets 3a are configured on each of two sidewalls of the impeller mounting shell 3 away from each other. Two ends of the impeller mounting shell 3 on the same sidewall are respectively configured with one of the two sockets 3a. The straight lines where the length direction of the two sockets 3a is located are parallel to each other. The straight lines where the length direction of the two sockets 3a is located are perpendicular to the air outlet direction of the impeller assembly 4. Two sidewalls of the two sockets 3a on the same side far away from each other are respectively configured with an insertion opening 3a1 configured for the connector 2 to be inserted into the socket 3a, wherein the insertion opening extends through the respective sidewall of the respective socket. One limiting bar 3a2 is integrally fixed on each of two sidewalls of the socket 3a adjacent to the insertion opening 3a1. The straight lines where the length direction of the limiting bars 3a2 is located are parallel to the straight lines where the length direction of the socket 3a is located. A limiting channel 3a3 in communication with the insertion opening 3a1 is formed between the limiting bar 3a2 and the bottom of the socket 3a.


Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the connector 2 includes a connecting plate body 21 and two elastic stoppers 22 integrally fixed on the connecting plate body 21. Each of the two ends of the connecting plate body 21 far away from each other in the length direction is configured with an operating hole 23. The elastic stopper 22 includes an elastic flap 221 and a hook 222 integrally secured to the elastic flap 221. The first end of the elastic flap 221 is connected to the wall of the operating hole 23, and the hook 222 is arranged at the second end of the elastic flap 221. The two elastic flaps 221 are coplanar and parallel to the plane where the connecting plate body 21 is located. The two hooks 222 extend in the direction away from each other. The two hooks 222 extend to the outside of the operating holes 23 and are located on the same side of the connecting plate body 21. The two sides of the two hooks 222 far away from each other are inclined towards each other in the direction away from the two elastic flaps 221. A snapping groove 3a4 adaptive for the hook 222 is defined at an end of the bottom of the socket 3a away from the insertion opening 3a1.


Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, during inserting one end of the connector 2 into the socket 3a through the insertion opening 3a1, two sides of the connection plate body 21 slide in the limiting channel 3a3, wherein the limiting bars 3a2 position and guide the connecting plate body 21.
