Referring to fig. 1, a conventional fan connector is electrically connected to a fan circuit board (not shown) via a plurality of wires 43 respectively with a connector 42, and the connector 42 is exposed outside a fan frame 41, and during installation, the connector 42, which is vertically arranged outside the fan frame 41 via the ends of the wires 43, is inserted into a plurality of metal terminals 511 of a motherboard 51 of a predetermined electronic device for electrical connection, so that after the fan 4 is fixed on the motherboard 51 of the electronic device, the connector 42 must be manually inserted into the plurality of metal terminals 511 of the motherboard 51 of the electronic device, so as to complete assembly.
However, since the connector of the conventional fan 4 and the fan frame 41 are separately designed and connected by the exposed and unfixed electric wires 43, it is still necessary to manually insert the connector 42 of the fan 4 into the metal terminals 511 of the motherboard 51, and then manually perform the wire-following and wire-arranging operations on the exposed fan electric wires 43, in other words, the entire process of installing and assembling the connector of the conventional fan 4 and the electric wires 43 must be manually performed, so that it is necessary to use manpower and manufacturing time to assemble the connector and the electric wires 43 in mass production, and the cost is increased. In addition, the fan wire 43 exposed outside still generates excessive segments (i.e. overlong electrical wires) even after passing through the straight wires and the whole wires, which are dropped between the fan 4 and the main board 51 to interfere the flow of the air flow in the system space and the attachment or dust falling.
Therefore, it is a first objective of those skilled in the art to improve the problems that the conventional connector of the fan 4 and the motherboard 51 cannot be assembled manually and thus cannot be produced automatically, and is time-consuming and labor-consuming, resulting in increased manufacturing cost and inconsistent assembly quality.

The fan end connector protrudes outwards in the direction parallel to or perpendicular to the side wall, or the fan end connector protrudes outwards in the direction perpendicular to the bottom plate.
If the fan end connector and the fan frame body are integrally formed in an injection molding mode, the fan end connector can be directly configured on the outer side of the fan frame body. If the non-integral structure is adopted, the fan end connection and the fan frame body are matched by a matching and combining structure, such as any one of a concave-convex structure, a clamping structure, a screw locking structure, a jogging structure, a buckling structure, an adhesive structure or gluing, so as to be combined into a whole.
The fan end connector is provided with a plurality of connecting pins which are arranged in the fan end connector and electrically connected with a fan circuit board. One of the fan end connector and the plate end connector is a plug, and the other is a socket matched with the plug.

The fan connector structure 10 of the present invention includes a fan 11, the fan 11 is a centrifugal fan or an axial fan, in this embodiment, the fan 11 is selected as a centrifugal fan and includes a fan frame body 111, the fan frame body 111 has a cover plate 1112 abutting against a bottom plate 1111, a sidewall 1113 is disposed between the cover plate 1112 and the bottom plate 1111, the sidewall 1113 is located at an outer periphery of the fan frame body 111, and the sidewall 1113 is formed by injection molding on the bottom plate 1111 and protrudes toward the cover plate 1112 or is formed by injection molding on the cover plate 1112 and protrudes toward the bottom plate 1111, and the sidewall 1113 may also be selected as a separate component combined with the cover plate 1112 and the bottom plate 1111. The cover plate 1112 and the bottom plate 1111 are respectively provided with an air inlet 11121, a air outlet 11111, and the side wall 1113 is provided with an air outlet 11131. A fan wheel 114, a rotor 117, a stator 118 and a fan circuit board 113 are disposed in the fan frame body 111, the fan wheel 114 corresponds to the air inlets 11111, 11121, the fan circuit board 113 is disposed below the fan wheel 114, the rotor 117 (including a ring magnet and an iron shell) is disposed on an inner side of the fan wheel 114, and the stator 118 is disposed above the fan circuit board 113 and corresponds to the rotor 117 at intervals.
