Abstract

A heat dissipation fan includes a fan blade assembly. The fan blade assembly includes a plurality of fan blades and a plurality of silencers connected to the plurality of fan blades and evenly arranged along a rotation direction of the plurality of fan blades. A center of gravity of the plurality of silencers coincides with a rotation center of the heat dissipation fan. At least some fan blades of the plurality of fan blades have different contact surfaces with air.

Claims (58)

1. A heat dissipation fan comprising:

a fan blade assembly including:

a plurality of fan blades; and

a plurality of silencers connected to the plurality of fan blades and evenly arranged along a rotation direction of the plurality of fan blades, a center of gravity of the plurality of silencers coinciding with a rotation center of the heat dissipation fan;

wherein:

at least some fan blades of the plurality of fan blades have different contact surfaces with air;

one silencer of the plurality of silencers includes a first end and a second end respectively connected to corresponding fan blades of the plurality of fan blades; and

a set height of the first end in a width direction of the corresponding fan blade connected to the first end is different from a set height of the second end in a width direction of the corresponding fan blade connected to the second end.

2. The heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , wherein:

each of the plurality of silencers is connected to at least two of the plurality of fan blades; and

each of the plurality of silencers is arranged along an arc with the rotation center as a center or has one end close to the rotation center and another end away from the rotation center.

3. The heat dissipation fan according to claim 2 , wherein:

the plurality of silencers are arranged along a circle with the rotation center as a center; and

at least a part of each of the plurality of silencers is located at the circle, such that the at least some fan blades have the different contact surfaces with air.

4. The heat dissipation fan according to claim 2 , wherein:

the plurality of silencers are arranged to form a plurality of concentric circles with the rotation center as a center and arranged along a length direction of the plurality of fan blades;

at least a part of each of the plurality of silencers is located at a corresponding concentric circle of the plurality of concentric circles; and

a center of gravity of ones of the plurality of silencers located at a same one of the plurality of concentric circles coincides with the rotation center.

5. The heat dissipation fan according to claim 4 , wherein:

each of the plurality of silencers is located at the corresponding concentric circle as a whole; and

positions on the plurality of fan blades for connecting corresponding ones of the plurality of silencers are at least partially different, such that the at least some fan blades have the different contact surfaces with air.

6. The heat dissipation fan according to claim 2 , wherein:

the plurality of silencers have a same structure;

a width and a height of one silencer of the plurality of silencers are equal everywhere on the one silencer; and

the plurality of silencers are arranged to form a circle with the rotation center as a center.

7. The heat dissipation fan according to claim 2 , wherein:

the plurality of silencers have a same structure; and

tone silencer of the plurality of silencers has a strip body shape.

8. The heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , wherein a set height of the one silencer increases or decreases gradually along a direction from the first end to the second end.

9. The heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , wherein:

the set height of the first end of the one silencer is not smaller than a half of a width of the corresponding fan blade connected to the first end; or

the set height of the second end of the one silencer is not smaller than a half of a width of the corresponding fan blade connected to the second end.

10. The heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipation fan is a radial flow fan.

11. An electronic device comprising:

a heat dissipation fan including a fan blade assembly including;

a plurality of fan blades; and

a plurality of silencers connected to the plurality of fan blades and evenly arranged along a rotation direction of the plurality of fan blades, a center of gravity of the plurality of silencers coinciding with a rotation center of the heat dissipation fan;

wherein:

at least some fan blades of the plurality of fan blades have different contact surfaces with air;

one silencer of the plurality of silencers includes a first end and a second end respectively connected to corresponding fan blades of the plurality of fan blades; and

a set height of the first end in a width direction of the corresponding fan blade connected to the first end is different from a set height of the second end in a width direction of the corresponding fan blade connected to the second end.

12. The electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein:

each of the plurality of silencers is connected to at least two of the plurality of fan blades; and

each of the plurality of silencers is arranged along an arc with the rotation center as a center or has one end close to the rotation center and another end away from the rotation center.

13. The electronic device according to claim 12 , wherein:

the plurality of silencers are arranged along a circle with the rotation center as a center; and

at least a part of each of the plurality of silencers is located at the circle, such that the at least some fan blades have the different contact surfaces with air.

14. The electronic device according to claim 12 , wherein:

the plurality of silencers have a same structure;
