Abstract

In a lightable fan structure for dissipating heat, a circuit board is arranged in a fan body, and the circuit board is sequentially provided with a first light-guiding frame and a second light-guiding frame, and the circuit board is provide with a plurality of side-light lighting elements. Every two side-light lighting elements is reversely arranged and spaced on a rim of the circuit board. A bottom of the first light-guiding frame is annually provided with a lighting reflection layer, and the side-light lighting elements are arranged below the lighting reflection layer. The lighting reflection layer reflects light sources of the side-light lighting elements to pass through an edge and a top of the first light-guiding frame and the second light-guiding frame, thereby uniformly scattering and forming a circular light source.

Claims (14)

1. A lightable fan structure for dissipating heat comprising:

a fan body;

a circuit board arranged in said fan body and provided with a plurality of side-light lighting elements, and every two said side-light lighting elements is reversely arranged and spaced on a rim of said circuit board, and said side-light lighting elements generate light sources;

a first light-guiding frame with a bottom thereof annually provided with a lighting reflection layer, and said first light-guiding frame is installed on said circuit board, and said side-light lighting elements are arranged on said lighting reflection layer; and

a second light-guiding frame arranged on said first light-guiding frame, and said lighting reflection layer reflects said light sources of said side-light lighting elements to pass through an edge and a top of said first light-guiding frame and said second light-guiding frame, thereby uniformly scattering and forming a circular light source.

2. The lightable fan structure for dissipating heat according to claim 1 , wherein said first light-guiding frame is further provided with a plurality of opening holes each corresponding to positions of every two said side-light lighting elements, and two said side-light lighting elements are arranged in said opening hole.

3. The lightable fan structure for dissipating heat according to claim 1 , wherein said fan body further comprises a frame body and a fan blade arranged in said frame body, and said frame body has an installation recess arranged at an outer side of said fan blade.

4. The lightable fan structure for dissipating heat according to claim 3 , wherein said fan body further comprises a collar arranged at an outer side of said fan blade.

5. The lightable fan structure for dissipating heat according to claim 3 , further comprising a plurality of fixing members which fixes said circuit board in said installation recess.

6. The lightable fan structure for dissipating heat according to claim 5 , wherein said frame body is further provided with a plurality of fixing portions arranged in said installation recess, and said circuit board is provided with a plurality of fixing holes corresponding to said fixing portions, and said fixing members are correspondingly fixed to said fixing portions through said fixing holes, whereby said circuit board is fixed in said installation recess.

7. The lightable fan structure for dissipating heat according to claim 1 , wherein said circuit board is further provided with a plurality of first mortises, and said first light-guiding frame is provided with a plurality of first tenons which match said first mortises, said first mortises are fastened with said first mortises whereby said first light-guiding frame is fixed on said circuit board.

8. The lightable fan structure for dissipating heat according to claim 1 , wherein a side of said second light-guiding frame is further and annually provided with a plurality of fasteners each comprising at least two second tenons, and a side of said first light-guiding frame is further and annually provided with a plurality of second mortises, and every two said second tenons matches every two said second mortises and fastens every two said second mortises, whereby said second light-guiding frame is fixed on said first light-guiding frame.

9. The lightable fan structure for dissipating heat according to claim 8 , wherein each said fastener is a transparent fastener comprising a transparent arc-concave portion which corresponds to two said side-light lighting elements, and said first light-guiding frame is a transparent light-guiding frame, and said second light-guiding frame is a semi-transparent sand surface light-guiding frame, and said transparent arc-concave portion guides said light source of two said side-light lighting elements, whereby said second light-guiding frame forms uniform said circular light source.

10. The lightable fan structure for dissipating heat according to claim 1 , wherein said first light-guiding frame is a transparent light-guiding frame, and said second light-guiding frame is a semi-transparent sand surface light-guiding frame.
