Abstract

A heat dissipating fan comprises a base unit having an axial sleeve, a dynamic bearing having a shaft section, a stator unit securely around the axial sleeve and a rotor unit. The rotor unit has a hub with a through hole to be jointed to the shaft section. A barrel core is positioned at the inner side of the hub corresponding to the through hole for receiving the shaft section. A connection element engages with the shaft section to secure the connection between the hub and the shaft section. Thus, the heat dissipating fan is assembled quickly, easily and precisely.

Claims (14)

1. A heat dissipating fan comprising:

a base unit further comprising a base and an axial sleeve;

a dynamic bearing further comprising an bearing body positioned in said axial sleeve and a shaft section positioned at an end of said bearing body;

a stator unit being coaxially secured around said axial sleeve;

a rotor unit being rotatably positioned to cover said stator unit and jointed to said shaft section, and further comprising a hub having a through hole at a central region thereof, a barrel core being a hollow portion connected to an inner side of said hub with a sidewall extending from an end of said hollow portion for being penetrated by said shaft section to;

a connection element being positioned in said barrel core to engage with a distal end of said shaft section;

a magnetic ring being positioned at the inner side of said hub for mutually inducing with said stator unit; and

a plurality of blades being alternately positioned to space spaced apart around an outer periphery of said hub;

wherein, said axial sleeve consists of a plurality of elastic split sleeve sections circularly positioned with a gap spacing apart from each other and a distal end of the respective sleeve section being bent a right angle toward said shaft section; and said connection element surrounds a distal end of said shaft section and is supported with said sidewall.

2. The heat dissipating fan according to claim 1 , wherein said sidewall has an axial hole corresponding with said through hole for being penetrated by said shaft section.

3. The heat dissipating fan according to claim 1 , wherein said shaft section has an annular groove for engaging with said connection element, which is a C-shaped retaining ring.

4. The heat dissipating fan according to claim 1 , wherein said connection element is a metallic annular ring riveted to the distal end of said shaft section.

5. The heat dissipating fan according to claim 4 , wherein said shaft section has a spline circumferential surface to enhance an engagement between said shaft section and said connection element.

6. The heat dissipating fan according to claim 1 , wherein said sleeve sections are capable of being obliquely bent outward for receiving said dynamic bearing and restored back to an original position thereof respectively for holding said bearing body.
