Abstract

The present invention provides a fan having a frame and a plug. The frame includes an accommodating portion and at least two fixed holes. Each of the fixed holes is disposed on the two sides of the accommodating portion. The plug has a terminal seat with at least two linking portions and a bipolar knife-shaped terminal between an top seat and a bottom seat of the terminal seat, and the plug so that the plug is assembled with the fixed holes of the frame via the linking portions of the plug and is accommodated within the accommodating portion of the frame.

Claims (28)

1. A plug, connected to a frame, the plug comprising:

a terminal seat comprising at least two linking portions; wherein each of the linking portions is disposed between two sides of the terminal seat for connecting with the frame; and

a bipolar knife-shaped terminal;

wherein the terminal seat comprises a top seat and a bottom seat, and the bipolar knife-shaped terminal is disposed between the top seat and the bottom seat.

2. The plug as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each linking portion is formed as an elliptic cylinder, a cylinder, a cuboid or a polygon prism shape.

3. The plug as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the linking portions and the top seat of the terminal seat are integrally formed as a single piece, or the linking portions and the lower seat of the integrally terminal seat are formed as a single piece.

4. The plug as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the terminal comprises an electric conducting material.

5. The plug as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the top seat and the bottom seat respectively comprises an opening, and the opening of the top seat corresponds to the opening of the bottom seat.

6. The plug as claimed in claim 5 , further comprising a fixing element passing through the openings of the upper seat and the lower seat.

7. The plug as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the fixing element is a screw or a bolt.

8. A fan, comprising:

a frame comprising an accommodating portion and at least two fixed holes, the fixed holes disposed at two sides of the accommodating portion, respectively; and

a plug, comprising:

a terminal seat comprising at least two linking portions; wherein each of the linking portions is disposed between two sides of the terminal seat for connecting with the frame; and

a bipolar knife-shaped terminal;

wherein the terminal seat comprises a top seat and a bottom seat, and the bipolar knife-shaped terminal is disposed between the top seat and the bottom seat.

9. The fan as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a diameter of each fixed hole is larger than or equals to a diameter of each linking portion.

10. The fan as claimed in claim 8 , wherein each of the fixed holes is disposed corresponding to each of the linking portions.

11. The fan as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a depth of each fixed hole is larger than or equals to a length of each linking portion.

12. The fan as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a shape of each fixed hole corresponds to a shape of each linking portion.

13. The fan as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the linking portions and the top seat of the terminal seat are integrally formed as a single piece, or the linking portions and the bottom seat of the terminal seat are integrally formed as a single piece.

14. The fan as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a width of the terminal seat is less than that of the accommodating portion.

15. The fan as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising a motor electrically connected to the bipolar knife-shaped terminal.

16. The fan as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the bipolar knife-shaped terminal comprises an electric conducting material.

17. The fan as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the top seat and the bottom seat respectively comprise an opening, and the opening of the top seat corresponds to the bottom seat.

18. The fan as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the plug further comprises a fixing element passing through the openings of the top seat and the bottom seat.

19. The fan as claimed in claim 18 , wherein the fixing element is a screw or a bolt.

20. The fan as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the fan is an axial fan.
