Abstract
A fan self-cooling structure with heat pipe includes a stator assembly, a fan circuit board, and at least one heat pipe. The fan circuit board is flatly connected to a bottom end of the stator assembly and has at least one heat-producing electronic element provided thereon. The at least one heat pipe is provided on the fan circuit board for absorbing and transferring heat energy produced by the at least one electronic element. With these arrangements, it is able to lower the temperature of the electronic elements in a fan and enhance the characteristics of the fan.
Claims7
A fan self-cooling structure with a heat pipe feature, comprising:
- a stator assembly;
- a fan circuit board being connected to a bottom end of the stator assembly and having at least one heat-producing electronic element provided thereon;
- at least one heat pipe being provided on a bottom side of the fan circuit board, oriented in a radial direction and dedicated to absorbing and transferring heat energy produced by the at least one electronic element;
- wherein the fan self-cooling structure is assembled to a fan framework;
- wherein the fan framework includes an outer frame and a base;
- the base defining a central first recess therein, the first recess corresponding to the fan circuit board connected to said stator assembly for connecting with one side of the fan circuit board;
- and
- wherein the first recess is provided therein with at least one second recess corresponding to and for receiving the at least one heat pipe.
