Airflow guiding structure varying in inclinations of air-guiding rings for a heat-dissipating fan
View Patent ↗A heat-dissipating fan includes a casing having an air outlet, a base mounted in the air outlet, an impeller being mounted on the base and having a plurality of blades, a plurality of ribs each extending between the base and the casing along a radial direction of the base, and at least two air-guiding ring fixedly mounted to the ribs. The air-guiding rings vary in inclinations along a longitudinal direction of the casing. The air-guiding ring guides airflow in various directions, and divides airflow passing through the air outlet when the impeller is turning.
1. A heat-dissipating fan comprising:
a casing having an air outlet;
a base mounted in the air outlet, an impeller being adapted to be mounted on the base and having a plurality of blades;
a plurality of ribs each extending between the base and the casing along a radial direction of the base; and
at least two air-guiding rings co-axially arranged and fixedly mounted to the ribs, wherein one of said air-guiding rings includes an annular inner face extending downstream and radially inward, and an annular outer face extending downstream and radially outward.
2. The heat-dissipating fan as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one of said air-guiding rings extends in a direction parallel to a longitudinal direction of the casing.
3. The heat-dissipating fan as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one of said air-guiding rings extends downstream and radially outward.
4. The heat-dissipating fan as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one of said air-guiding rings extends downstream and radially inward.
5. The heat-dissipating fan as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said air-guiding ring with an annular inner face extending downstream and radially inward and an annular outer face extending downstream and radially outward has a triangular section, and the annular inner face and the annular outer face connecting each other at a common annular ridge.
6. A heat-dissipating fan comprising:
a casing having an air outlet;
a base mounted in the air outlet, an impeller being adapted to be mounted on the base and having a plurality of blades;
a plurality of ribs each extending between the base and the casing along a radial direction of the base;
at least one first air-guiding ring fixedly mounted to the ribs and located between the base and the casing, said first air-guiding ring including an annular inner face extending downstream and radially inward, and an outer face extending downstream and radially outward; and
at least one second air-guiding ring fixedly mounted to the ribs and located between the first guiding ring and the casing, said second air-guiding ring including an annular inner face extending downstream and radially inward, and an annular outer face extending downstream and radially outward,
wherein said annular inner faces of the first and second air-guiding rings vary in inclinations along a longitudinal direction of the casing; and said annular outer faces of the first and second air-guiding rings vary in inclinations along a longitudinal direction of the casing.
7. The heat-dissipating fan as claimed in claim 6 , wherein one of said first air-guiding rings has a triangular section, and the annular inner face and the annular outer face of said first air-guiding ring connect with each other at a common annular ridge.
8. The heat-dissipating fan as claimed in claim 6 , wherein one of said second air-guiding rings has a triangular section, and the annular inner face and the annular outer face of said second air-guiding ring connect with each other at a common annular ridge.
9. The heat-dissipating fan as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the ribs incline along an air-driving direction of the blades of the impeller.
10. The heat-dissipating fan as claimed in claim 6 , wherein each of said ribs has rib sections separated by said first and second air-guiding rings, and said rib sections have different inclining angles.
