Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to a series fan inclination structure, and more particularly to a series fan inclination structure, which can greatly reduce the vibration and lower the noise.


2. Description of the Related Art

Along with the continuous advance of science and technologies, the dependence of peoples on various electronic apparatuses has more and more increased. In operation, the internal components of the electronic products (such as computers and notebooks) will generate high heat. The heat generated by the internal components must be conducted outside the electronic product in time. Otherwise, the electronic product will overheat. In general, a fan is disposed in the electronic product to dissipate the heat and keep the electronic product operating at an operation temperature within a certain range.


Please refer to FIGS. 1A and 1B. In a conventional series fan 1, the fan frames 10 are mated and serially connected with each other. With respect to the heat dissipation of a large-scale apparatus, sometimes multiple series fans are further combined in parallel and co-used. When the series fan 1 operates, on the design principle of the motor torque operation, the fan 1 will inevitably vibrate, especially in the case that more than two series fans 1 are combined in parallel and co-used. The parallel combination of the series fans 1 is able to increase the air volume so as to effectively exhaust the heat from the interior of the electronic product. However, when all the series fans 1 simultaneously operate, under the inter-affection of the ground-state vibration frequency of the fan impellers 11 of the fans 1, the fan frames 10 will severely resonate. The series fans 1 are combined in parallel so that the pairs of fans will interact on each other to synergize the development of the noise dipole. This will make loud noise.


According to the above, the conventional series fan has the following shortcomings:


1. The vibration of the fan is more serious.


2. Due to the development and interaction of the dipole, the fan will make loud noise.


It is therefore tried by the applicant to provide a series fan inclination structure to solve the above problems of the conventional series fan.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a series fan inclination structure, which can greatly reduce the vibration.


It is a further object of the present invention to provide a series fan inclination structure, which can destruct the interaction of the noise dipole so as to lower the noise.


To achieve the above and other objects, the series fan inclination structure of the present invention includes an inclined frame body assembly, a first rotor assembly and a second rotor assembly. The inclined frame body assembly has a receiving space. The receiving space includes a first space, a second space and a flow guide passage. A first base seat is obliquely disposed in the first space. A second base seat is obliquely disposed in the second space. The flow guide passage is formed between the first and second base seats in communication with the first and second spaces. The first rotor assembly is correspondingly disposed on the first base seat. The first rotor assembly has a first shaft and multiple first blades. One end of the first shaft is rotatably disposed on the first base seat. The second rotor assembly is correspondingly disposed on the second base seat. The second rotor assembly has a second shaft and multiple second blades. One end of the second shaft is rotatably disposed on the second base seat.


In the above series fan inclination structure, the inclined frame body assembly has a horizontal axis. The horizontal axis and outer wall of the inclined frame body assembly contain a first angle. The inclined frame body assembly has a first vertical axis. The first vertical axis and the first base seat contain a second angle. The inclined frame body assembly has a second vertical axis. The second vertical axis and the second base seat contain a third angle. In other words, the inclined frame body assembly has an inclined configuration and the first and second base seats are obliquely disposed on the inner wall of the inclined frame body assembly. Therefore, the first and second rotor assemblies are also rotatably disposed on the first and second base seats in an inclined state. Accordingly, the entire series fan has an inclined structure. In this case, the flow direction and pattern of the airflow entering the series fan structure are changed and the development of audio frequency of the dipole is destructed. This solves the problem of the conventional series fan that when multiple series fans are combined in parallel and co-used, the pairs of fans will interact on each other to synergize the development of the noise dipole and cause great vibration and make loud noise. Therefore, the present invention can greatly lower the noise.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Please refer to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4. FIG. 2 is a perspective exploded view of a first embodiment of the series fan inclination structure of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective assembled view of the first embodiment of the series fan inclination structure of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the first embodiment of the series fan inclination structure of the present invention. According to the first embodiment, the series fan inclination structure 2 of the present invention includes an inclined frame body assembly 21, a first rotor assembly 23 and a second rotor assembly 24. The inclined frame body assembly 21 has a receiving space 22. The receiving space 22 includes a first space 221, a second space 222 and a flow guide passage 223. A first base seat 224 is obliquely disposed in the first space 221. A second base seat 225 is obliquely disposed in the second space 222. The flow guide passage 223 is formed between the first and second base seats 224, 225 in communication with the first and second spaces 221, 222. The first base seat 224 has multiple first support sections 2241. The second base seat 225 has multiple second support sections 2251. The first and second support sections 2241, 2251 are connected to the inner wall of the inclined frame body assembly 21. The structure and configuration of the first and second support sections 2241, 2251 can be designed as static blade wing-shaped structures (as shown in FIG. 2) or rib structures (not shown) according to the requirement of a user. This will not affect the effect achieved by the present invention.


The inclined frame body assembly 21 has a horizontal axis L1. The horizontal axis L1 and the outer wall of the inclined frame body assembly 21 contain a first angle α. The inclined frame body assembly 21 has a first vertical axis L2. The first vertical axis L2 and the first base seat 224 contain a second angle β. The inclined frame body assembly 21 further has a second vertical axis L3. The second vertical axis L3 and the second base seat 225 contain a third angle γ. The first, second and third angles α, β, γ are not specifically limited and are determined by the inclination of the inclined frame body assembly 21 and the inclinations of the first and second base seats 224, 225 obliquely disposed in the first and second spaces 221, 222.


The first rotor assembly 23 is correspondingly disposed on the first base seat 224. The first rotor assembly 23 has a first shaft 232 and multiple first blades 233. One end of the first shaft 232 is rotatably disposed on the first base seat 224. The first rotor assembly 23 further has a first receiving section 231 for receiving therein a first stator assembly 25.


The second rotor assembly 24 is correspondingly disposed on the second base seat 225. The second rotor assembly 24 has a second shaft 242 and multiple second blades 243. One end of the second shaft 242 is rotatably disposed on the second base seat 225. The second rotor assembly 24 further has a second receiving section 241 for receiving therein a second stator assembly 26.


Please further refer to FIGS. 2 and 3. In this embodiment, the inclined frame body assembly 21 further has a first support frame 226 and a second support frame 227. The first support frame 226 and the first base seat 224 are integrally formed. The second support frame 227 and the second base seat 225 are integrally formed. The first and second support frames 226, 227 are assembled by means of insertion, locking, adhesion, engagement or latching. The first support frame 226 has a first air inlet 2261 and a first air outlet 2262. The first air inlet 2261 and the first air outlet 2262 communicate with the first space 221. The second support frame 227 has a second air inlet 2271 and a second air outlet 2272. The second air inlet 2271 and the second air outlet 2272 communicate with the second space 222.


According to the structural design of the present invention, in use, the first air outlet 2262 of the first support frame 226 is correspondingly mated and connected with the second air inlet 2271 of the second support frame 227. (Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 5, in a second embodiment, the first air outlet 2262 of the first support frame 226 is correspondingly mated and connected with the second air outlet 2272 of the second support frame 227). The inclined frame body assembly 21 has an inclined configuration and the first and second base seats 224, 225 are obliquely disposed on the inner wall of the inclined frame body assembly 21, (that is, the first and second base seats 224, 225 and the first and second vertical axes L2, L3 contain the second and third angles β and γ as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5). Therefore, the first and second rotor assemblies 23, 24 are also disposed on the first and second base seats 224, 225 in a state inclined from the horizontal axis L1. Accordingly, the entire series fan has an inclined structure. In this case, after the airflow 3 flows into the first space 221 from the first air inlet 2261, the airflow 3 will flow through the flow guide passage 223 and the first air outlet 2262 and then flow into the second air inlet 2271 and the second space 222. Finally, the airflow 3 flows out from the second air outlet 2272. Accordingly, the flow direction and pattern of the airflow 3 entering the series fan structure are changed and the development of audio frequency of the dipole is destructed. This solves the problem of the conventional series fan that when multiple series fans are combined in parallel and co-used, the pairs of fans will interact on each other to synergize the development of the noise dipole and cause great vibration and make loud noise. Therefore, the present invention can be greatly lower the noise.


Please now refer to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG. 6 is a perspective exploded view of a third embodiment of the series fan inclination structure of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a perspective assembled view of the third embodiment of the series fan inclination structure of the present invention. The third embodiment is partially identical to the first embodiment in component and relationship between the components and thus will not be repeatedly described hereinafter. The third embodiment is mainly different from the first embodiment in that in this embodiment, the inclined frame body assembly 21 has another form. The inclined frame body assembly 21 has an upper support frame 228 and a lower support frame 229. In this embodiment, the lower support frame 229 and the first and second base seats 224, 225 are, but not limited to, integrally formed. In practice, alternatively, the upper support frame 228 and the first and second base seats 224, 225 are integrally formed (not shown). The upper and lower support frames 228, 229 are assembled by means of insertion, locking, adhesion, engagement or latching. The structural design of this embodiment can also achieve the same effect as the above embodiment.


Finally, please refer to FIGS. 8 and 9. FIG. 8 is a perspective assembled view of a fourth embodiment of the series fan inclination structure of the present invention. FIG. 9 is a sectional assembled view of the fourth embodiment of the series fan inclination structure of the present invention. The fourth embodiment is partially identical to the first embodiment in component and relationship between the components and thus will not be repeatedly described hereinafter. The fourth embodiment is mainly different from the first embodiment in that multiple inclined frame body assemblies 21 are further combined in parallel and co-used. The inclined frame body assemblies 21 are applicable to a large-scale apparatus for dissipating the heat thereof. This solves the problem of the conventional series fan that when multiple series fans are combined in parallel and co-used, the pairs of fans will interact on each other to synergize the development of the noise dipole and cause great vibration and make loud noise. Therefore, the present invention can greatly lower the noise.


The present invention has been described with the above embodiments thereof and it is understood that many changes and modifications in such as the form or layout pattern or practicing step of the above embodiments can be carried out without departing from the scope and the spirit of the invention that is intended to be limited only by the appended claims.
