Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of heat dissipation, and particularly relates to a turbo fan.

BACKGROUND

In recent years, the breakthrough in artificial intelligence has brought earth-shaking changes to the information industry. Accelerator cards based on ASIC chips and FPGA chips have achieved faster data acquisition, data processing, classification and prediction through a plurality of artificial intelligence algorithms, especially machine learning algorithms. The accelerator cards have achieved an order of magnitude reduction in computing time. Higher requirements are also placed on hardware computing power, but the improvements of computing power correspondingly increase power consumption of board cards. Limited contact area between heat dissipation structure of a board card and the external world puts forward higher requirements for air volume, wind pressure and low noise of a fan.

At present, there are two kinds of board card cooling fans: axial fans and turbo fans. Cooling performance of fans mainly depends on their air volume and wind pressure, while traditional turbo fans need to increase rotating speed of fans to increase air volume, thus exacerbating noise. In this case, large air volume and low noise may not be compromised at the same time.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the present disclosure provides a turbo fan 10 including a rotor housing 100 and a fan blade structure 200 arranged around the rotor housing 100. The fan blade structure 200 is fixed to the periphery of the rotor housing 100 and includes a plurality of fan blades 210 spaced and extending in the same direction. Alternatively, the plurality of fan blades 210 of the fan blade structure 200 are centrally symmetrical with respect to the axis of the rotor housing 100. The arc length of a cross section of the fan blade 210 is ⅛-⅙ of the circumference of the circle in which the arc is located. It is understandable that a central angle corresponding to the arc lie between 45 to 60 degrees. The shape of the fan blade 210 is a “tile” type and a cross section of the “tile” is an arc, the arc length is ⅛-⅙ of the circumference of the circle in which the arc is located. In one embodiment, the length of the arc is 1/7 of the circumference of the circle in which the arc is located.

In the present embodiment, the turbo fan 10 sets the fan blade 210 with an arc section, and when the turbo fan 10 rotates, the arc structure of the fan blade 210 can push more air to increase air volume. Meanwhile, since the length of the arc is ⅛-⅙ of the circumference of the circle where the arc is located, the fan blade 210 has an appropriate radian, thus effectively reducing wind resistance and then effectively reducing noise and increasing air volume.

The material of the rotor housing 100 is not limited as long as the shape can be maintained. Alternatively, the material of the rotor housing 100 can be a metal or chemical product. For example, the material of the rotor housing 100 can be aluminum or aluminum alloy. Alternatively, a section of the rotor housing 100 can be circular. The material of the fan blade 210 is not limited as long as the shape can be maintained. Alternatively, the material of the fan blade 210 can be a metal or a chemical product. For example, the material of the fan blade 210 can be aluminum or aluminum alloy. In one embodiment, the fan blade structure 200 is integrated with the rotor housing 100, thus the overall structure is more stable.

In one embodiment, the rotor housing 100 includes an accommodation bucket 110 and an annular connecting plate 120 fixedly connected with the outer edge of the accommodation bucket 110, where the accommodation bucket 110 forms a fan rotor accommodation space around to accommodate fan rotors, and the fan blade structure 200 is arranged around the annular connecting plate 120 and fixedly connected with the annular connecting plate 120.

Alternatively, the annular connection plate 120 is perpendicular to the axis of the accommodation bucket 110. Alternatively, a connection between the annular connecting plate 414 and the accommodation bucket 412 is arranged in an arc shape, thereby reducing wind resistance and noise. In one embodiment, the accommodation bucket 412 is integrated with the annular connecting plate 414, and the structure is stable.

Alternatively, the accommodation bucket 110 includes a top plate of accommodation bucket 112 and a side plate of accommodation bucket 114. The side plate of accommodation bucket 114 is arranged around the edge of the top plate of accommodation bucket 112 and fixedly connected to the edge of the top plate of accommodation plate 112. The annular connecting plate 120 is fixedly arranged at one side of the side plate of accommodation bucket 114, and the side is away from the top plate of accommodation bucket 112. When the turbo fan 10 rotates, air current flows through the side plate of accommodation bucket 114 from the top plate of accommodation bucket 112 to the annular connecting plate 120.

In one embodiment, the accommodation bucket 110 further includes a plurality of heat-dissipation holes 116 and the plurality of heat-dissipation holes 116 are arranged at the surface of the accommodation bucket 110. Alternatively, the plurality of heat-dissipation holes 116 may be disposed on the top plate of accommodation bucket 112, thus dissipating heat generated by rotors in the rotor housing 100 faster. Alternatively, the plurality of heat-dissipation holes 116 may be disposed on the side plate of accommodation bucket 114. In one embodiment, the heat-dissipation holes 116 can be equally spaced and the shape of the heat-dissipation holes 116 is not limited. Alternatively, the shape of the heat-dissipation holes 116 may be circular or polygonal. Specifically, the shape of the heat-dissipation holes 116 may be triangle, quadrilateral or hexagon. In the present embodiment, the heat-dissipation holes 116 may be through holes that penetrate the inner part of the rotor housing 410 to facilitate dissipating heat from rotors.

In one embodiment, the turbo fan 10 further includes an annular bracket 300 arranged around the rotor housing 100. The annular bracket 300 is fixedly connected with the plurality of fan blades 210. Alternatively, the annular bracket 300 is fixedly connected with all the fan blades 200 within the fan blade structure 210. Alternatively, the annular bracket 300 is integrated with the fan blade structure 200. In the present embodiment, the annular bracket 300 makes the fan blade structure 200 more stable and avoids noise caused by the shaking of the fan blade 210.

In one embodiment, the annular bracket 300 is arranged at an end of the fan blade 210 away from the annular connecting plate 120. The two ends of the fan blade 210 in the vertical direction of the annular connecting plate 120 are respectively fixed, so as to make the fan blade structure 200 more stable and avoid noise caused by the shaking of the fan blade 210.

In one embodiment, the diameter of a circle in which an arc-shaped cross section of the fan blade 210 is located is 1/10-⅙ of an outer diameter of the fan blade structure 200. Alternatively, the diameter of the circle in which the arc-shaped cross section of the fan blade 210 is located may be 1/9 of the outer diameter of the fan blade structure 200. Alternatively, the diameter of the circle in which the arc-shaped cross section of the fan blade 210 is located may be ⅛ of the outer diameter of the fan blade structure 200. Alternatively, the diameter of the circle in which the arc-shaped cross section of the fan blade 422 is located may be 1/7 of the outer diameter of the fan blade structure 200. In one embodiment, the diameter of the circle in which the arc-shaped cross section of the fan blade 210 is located can be 6.6 mm, the outer diameter of the fan blade structure 420 can be 66 mm.

In the present embodiment, the size of the fan blade 210 is in proportion to that of the turbo fan 10 and the overall compatibility is better, so that the condition of air inlet and air outlet is more balanced. In this case, the air volume and wind pressure at the air outlet of the turbo fan 10 can achieve an ideal result (see FIG. 3). In one embodiment, the rotational speed of the turbo fan 10 can be 4900 rpm.

In one embodiment, the axis of the fan blade 210 along the longitudinal direction of the fan blade can be perpendicular to the annular connection plate 120. It is understandable that the fan blade 210 is integrally perpendicular to the annular connecting plate 120, so that the outlet direction of the turbo fan 10 is parallel to the annular connecting plate 120. Alternatively, the fan blade 210 can be inclined to the surface of the annular connection plate 120. The arc-shaped fan blade 210 has a recess surface and a projection surface opposite to the recess surface. When an angle between the recess surface of the fan blade 210 and a surface of annular connecting plate 120 near the top plate of accommodation bucket 112 is acute, the outlet direction of the turbo fan 10 is concentrated in the direction close to the annular connecting plate 120. When the angle between the recess surface of the fan blade 210 and a surface of annular connecting plate 120 near the top plate of accommodation bucket 112 is obtuse, the outlet direction of the turbo fan 10 is concentrated in the direction away from the annular connecting plate 120.

Referring to FIG. 4, in one embodiment, the two ends of the arc of the fan blade are an air inlet 212 arranged near the rotor housing 200 and an air outlet 214 away from the air inlet 212 respectively, where the air inlet 212 is blade-shaped. The air current generated by rotation of the turbo fan 10 flows into the fan blade structure 200 from the air inlet 212 and flows out of the fan blade structure 200 from the air outlet 214. The air inlet 212 is configured to intercept the air current entering the fan blade structure 200 during the rotation of the fan blade structure 200. In the present embodiment, the air inlet 212 is arranged to be blade-shaped to reduce wind resistance and facilitate intercepting air current, thereby reducing noise.

In one embodiment, an angle between a tangential line of the arc at the air outlet 214 and a tangent line of the fan blade structure 200 at the air outlet 214 is acute. In one embodiment, the angle may lie between 30 to 60 degrees. Alternatively, the angle may be 45 degrees.

In the present embodiment, the angle between a tangential line of the arc at the air outlet 214 and a tangent line of the fan blade structure 200 at the air outlet 214 is acute, so that the axis of the fan blade 210 is close to the axis of the rotor housing 200. The fan blade 210 with such an angle may facilitate the air current to be generated and accelerated by the fan blade 210, thus accelerating outflow speed and increasing air volume.

Referring to FIG. 5, in one embodiment, the annular bracket 300 is arranged at the air outlet 214 and the end of the fan blade 210 away from the annular connecting plate 120. When the air current flows out, the annular bracket 300 can act as a barrier to prevent the air current from flowing away from the annular connecting plate 120. In one embodiment, the air outlet 214 is perpendicular to a tangent line of the outer edge of the fan blade structure 200 at the air outlet 214 to facilitate the air in the turbo fan 10 to flow out.

Referring to FIG. 6, in one embodiment, the turbo fan 10 further includes an installation chassis 400, and the installation chassis 400 and the rotor housing 100 are oppositely and rotatably connected. The installation chassis 400 includes an installation plate 410 and a side panel 420 arranged in the periphery of the installation plate 410, where the side panel 420 and the installation plate 410 form a groove. As shown in FIG. 8, the side panel 420 is arranged with a wire passing groove 422.

In one embodiment, the installation chassis 400 is fixedly installed on an installation surface. The installation chassis 400 and the installation surface can be fixedly connected by screws. Specifically, three screw holes are equally spaced in the periphery of the installation chassis 400, and the installation chassis 400 is connected with the installation surface by screws passed through the screw holes. The material of the installation chassis 400 is not limited as long as the shape can be maintained. Alternatively, the installation chassis 400 may be metal. Specifically, the installation chassis 400 can be aluminum or aluminum alloy to facilitate heat dissipation of the turbo fan 10. The shape of the installation chassis 400 is not limited. In one embodiment, the shape of the installation chassis 400 can be a circular plate or a polygonal plate.

In one embodiment, a plurality of cutting edges are spaced in the side panel 420 to make the installation chassis 400 irregularly circular, thus avoiding the problem that the installation chassis 400 cannot be installed due to a size error during the production process. In one embodiment, the side panel 420 is perpendicular to the installation plate 410. The groove formed by the side panel 420 and the installation plate 442 is configured to accommodate rotors and the wire passing groove 422 is configured to allow wires connecting the rotors to pass through for assembly. The installation chassis 400 is arranged with a shaft at the axis on the side of the rotor housing 100, and a fan rotor is installed on the shaft and can rotate around the shaft.

Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in one embodiment, the turbo fan 10 further includes a fan terminal 500, and the fan terminal 500 is configured to protect connecting wires of the turbo fan 10. The fan terminal 500 includes a connecting arm 510 and a wire pressing arm 520. An end of the connecting arm 510 is fixedly connected with the side panel 420, which is fixedly connected with the end of the connecting arm 510 away from the side panel 420, and the other end of the connecting arm 510 is spaced with the side panel 420. The wire pressing arm 520 and the connecting arm 510 are located on the same plane as the installation plate 420. A surface of the wire pressing arm 520 away from the rotor housing 100 is arranged with a wire pressing groove 522, and the wire pressing groove 522 is arranged corresponding with the wire passing groove 422.

In one embodiment, the wire pressing arm 520 forms an L-shape with the connecting arm 510. Alternatively, the shape of the fan terminal 500 can also be annular. An interval between the wire pressing arm 520 and the side panel 420 forms an opening, and the opening facilitates the connecting wires to pass through and then enter the fan terminal 500. The wire pressing groove 522 can form an interval between the fan terminal 500 and the base 100 so as to facilitate the connecting wires to pass through. In one embodiment, the fan terminal 500 is integrated with the installation chassis 400. In one embodiment, the fan terminal 500 is as thick as the installation chassis 400.

In the present embodiment, the connecting wires are led from the wire passing groove 422 to the wire pressing groove 522 and are then led out, so as to protectively enclose the connecting wires and avoid influencing the connecting wires when the turbo fan 10 rotates, thus preventing interference.
