Abstract

A fan module comprises a frame, a wire-stopping structure, an impeller and a circuit board. The frame includes a frame wall, a base, a plurality of static blades and a connector. A wire groove formed on an outside of the frame wall to accommodate a wire. The static blades are radially connected to the base and the frame wall. The connector is formed on the outside of the frame wall and extended from one end of the wire groove to the base along one of the static blades. The connector includes a plurality of pins. The wire-stopping board is fixed to the frame wall to cover the wire groove. The impeller is disposed in the frame. The circuit board is disposed in the frame and located on the base. The circuit board includes a plurality of pin holes, and the pin holes are electrically connected to the pins.

Claims (32)

1. A fan module, comprising:

a frame, includes:

a frame wall includes a wire groove formed on an outside of the frame wall to accommodate a wire;

a base;

a plurality of static blades, radially connected to the base and the frame wall, and located between the base and the frame wall; and

a connector, formed on the outside of the frame wall and extended from one end of the wire groove to the base along one of the static blades, the connector includes a plurality of pins;

a wire-stopping board, fixed to the frame wall to cover the wire groove;

an impeller, disposed in the frame; and

a circuit board, disposed in the frame and located on the base, wherein the circuit board includes a plurality of pin holes, the pin holes are electrically connected to the pins by welding,

wherein the frame wall, the base, the static blades and the connector are integrally formed as a single piece unitary structure,

wherein the circuit board further includes a protruding portion, the pin holes are located at the protruding portion, an extension direction of the protruding portion is perpendicular to the frame wall and an extension direction of the wire groove.

2. The fan module of claim 1 , wherein a shape of the circuit board is corresponding to a shape of the base.

3. The fan module of claim 2 , wherein the protruding portion is corresponding to the static blade which the connector is extended along.

4. The fan module of claim 1 , wherein the frame further includes:

a fastening portion, disposed on one side of the wire groove; and

a positioning portion, disposed on the other side of the wire groove.

5. The fan module of claim 1 , wherein the frame further includes:

a fastening portion, disposed on one end of the wire groove; and

a positioning portion, disposed on the other end of the wire groove.

6. The fan module of claim 4 , wherein the wire-stopping board includes:

a first combination portion, engaged with the fastening portion; and

a second combination portion, engaged with the positioning portions.

7. The fan module of claim 6 , wherein the fastening portion and the positioning portion are protruding blocks, and the first combination portion and the second combination portion are indentations.

8. The fan module of claim 6 , wherein the fastening portion and the positioning portion are interlaced disposed.

9. The fan module of claim 5 , wherein the wire-stopping board includes:

a first combination portion, engaged with the fastening portion; and

a second combination portion, engaged with the positioning portions.

10. The fan module of claim 9 , wherein the fastening portion and the positioning portion are indentations, and the first combination portion and the second combination portion are protruding blocks.

11. The fan module of claim 9 , wherein the fastening portion is oppositely disposed with the positioning portion.

12. The fan module of claim 4 , wherein the wire-stopping board pivots on a pivot at the fastening portion or the positioning portion.

13. The fan module of claim 4 , wherein the fastening portion and the positioning portion are chutes or protruding blocks, the wire-stopping board is sliding to fix to the frame wall and held by the fastening portion and the positioning portion.

14. The fan module of claim 1 , wherein the frame further includes a wire-guiding structure disposed at the other end of the wire groove.
