Detailed Description

The above objects, together with the structural and functional features thereof, are accomplished by the preferred embodiments according to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3, which are three-dimensional and sectional views illustrating the structure of the fan frame electric connector of the present invention, as shown in the drawings, the structure of the fan frame electric connector of the present invention is assembled with a motherboard 1 of an electronic device, and includes: a fan 2;

the fan 2 has a frame 2a, a circuit board 22 and at least one pogo pin connector 23, the pogo pin connector 23 has a main body 231, the main body 231 has a containing space 232 and a connecting end 233, the connecting end 233 is electrically connected with the circuit board 22, a thimble 234 and a spring 235 are arranged in the containing space 232, one end of the thimble 234 protrudes out of the containing space 232 of the main body 231, the other end abuts against the spring 235, and the containing space 232 can move in a reciprocating manner, the circuit board 22 is a hard circuit board or a soft circuit board or is not constrained.

The frame body 2a is provided with an air inlet 2ac and an air outlet 2ad, the frame body 2a is a centrifugal fan frame body and is provided with a top cover 2ae, the air inlet 2ac is arranged on the top cover 2ae, the air outlet 2ad is arranged on the upper side and the side (side wall 2ab) of the frame body 2a, and the air inlet 2ac and the air outlet 2ad are perpendicular to each other by 90 degrees.

Alternatively, the frame 2a is an axial-flow fan frame, and the air inlet 2ac and the air outlet 2ad are disposed on the upper and lower sides (not shown) of the frame 2 a.

The frame 2a is further provided with a stator and a rotor, and the stator and the rotor have the same structure as the conventional fan, so the details will not be described herein.

The main purpose of the present invention is to make the pogo pin connector 23 protrude outward from the bottom side 2aa of the frame 2a in the vertical direction or the side wall 2ab of the frame 2a in the horizontal direction, so that the frame 2a can be assembled with the motherboard 1 of the electronic device in the axial direction (vertical) or the radial direction (horizontal), and the circuit board 22 is selectively disposed on either the bottom side 2aa or the side wall 2ab of the frame 2 a.

The fan 2 and the motherboard can be fixed by arranging a fixed seat at the position of the motherboard corresponding to the position where the fan 2 is to be arranged, and the mode that the fan 2 and the motherboard are connected and combined in the mode of screw locking, clamping or buckling by using a screw locking element is not limited in the invention, and the combination mode and the structure thereof are not repeated.

The invention mainly improves the defect that the traditional fan can not be automatically inserted when the mainboard of the electronic equipment needs to be electrically connected, so the invention directly arranges the spring pin connector on the bottom side or the side wall of the frame body and protrudes out of the frame body, the spring pin connector can directly correspond to the part of the mainboard of the electronic equipment where the mainboard is required to be electrically connected and is provided with a metal contact, and the mechanical arm of the automatic equipment alone or is matched with a jig to directly extract the fan, so that the fan can be simultaneously electrically connected with the mainboard of the electronic equipment and the fixed locking operation of the two parts.

The invention improves the defect that the traditional fan can not be electrically connected and assembled and locked at the same time, greatly saves the labor cost required in production, and further shortens the working hours and the error rate of the assembly operation.
