In the current embodiment, the light emitting diode 30 is coupled to the PCB assembly 11. The fan 20 is connected to the fan control unit η for rotation. The fan 2 is rotated by the electromotive force induced by the coil assembly 12, and the rotational speed of the fan 20 is changed based on the duty cycle of the PWM signal. The illumination control unit 40 changes the color of the LEDs 30 based on the duty cycle of the PWM signal to generate the illumination control signal, and the LEDs 30 emit light based on the illumination control signals. In the current embodiment, the light emitting diode 30 includes a blue first light emitting diode 31, a green second light emitting diode 32, and a red third light emitting diode 33. The polar body 31 to the third light emitting diode 33 can display various colors. The illuminating control unit 40 generates a first illuminating control signal for controlling the first illuminating diode 31, a second illuminating control signal for controlling the second illuminating diode 32, and a third illuminating diode 33 for controlling the third illuminating diode 33.

In the current embodiment, a microcomputer (micom) mounted on the motherboard of the computer performs the function of the illumination control unit 4. If the fan driving unit 70 mounted on the motherboard generates and supplies a PWM signal to the microcomputer, the microcomputer generates a first lighting control to the second lighting control signal based on the duty cycle of the PWM signal, and allows the LED to emit light. Alternatively, the PCB assembly 11 of the fan control unit 10 can perform the functions of the illumination control unit 40.

The output of 〇% indicates that the fan 20 is not rotating, and the output of 100% indicates that the fan 20 is rotating at the maximum speed. Since the fan 2 旋转 rotates at a speed corresponding to the output set in advance based on the PWM signal-based duty cycle, referring to FIG. 3, the fan 20 is previously set to correspond to the duty cycle of the PWM signal-based 〇~3〇% , 30 to 40%, 40 to 65%, or 65 to 100% of the output during the rotation of the speed. With the user, the output period can be arbitrarily changed. The color of the light-emitting diode 30 is designed according to each output period. In the output period of 0 to 30%, the color of the light-emitting diode 30 can be set to red; in the output period of 30 to 40%, the color of the light-emitting diode 30 can be set to green; at 40 to 65 In the output period of %, the color of the light-emitting diode 30 can be set to blue; and in the output period of 65 to 100%, the color of the light-emitting diode 30 can be set to white.

For example, in the transition period of 28 to 31% between the red = out period and the green output period / the color of the light-emitting diode 30 gradually changes from red to an intermediate color between red and green, and then changes to green. For example, in the red output period, the illumination control unit 4 generates a first illumination control signal and a second illumination control signal to turn off the first LED 13 and the second LED 32, And providing a third light-emitting control signal to the third light-emitting diode 33 to turn on the second light-emitting diode 33, thereby realizing red light. During the transition period of the intermediate color of red and green, the illumination control unit 4 generates a first illumination control signal to turn off the first LED 201, and generates a second illumination control signal and a second illumination control signal to enable the second The light emitting diode 32 and the third light emitting diode 33 are provided. In this case, in order to continuously change the color, the current applied to the second light-emitting diode 32 is gradually increased, the current applied to the third light-emitting diode 33 is gradually decreased, and if green is started During the output period, the Bellow output is used to turn off the third light-emitting diode sfl of the third light-emitting diode and the second light-emitting control signal for turning on the second light-emitting diode 32, thereby realizing green light. The color of the light-emitting diode 3〇 is continuously changed during the transition period in which the green color is changed to blue and the blue color is changed to white during the transition period in which the red color is changed to green. 8 201144610, JOZ, VZ, pll The fan assembly 100 further includes a frame 50 to which the fan 20 is coupled. As shown in FIG. 1, the frame 50 includes a base 51, an outer frame 52, and a bridge 53. The fan 20 and the PCB assembly 11 are mounted on the base 51. The PCB assembly 11 is skewed by a rotation shaft 51a which is rotatably protruded from the base 51, and a central portion of the fan 20 is coupled to the rotating shaft 51a. The outer frame 52 surrounds the fins of the fan, and the bridge 53 connects the outer frame 52 to the base 51. The shape of the frame 50 can be variously changed. The outer frame 52 may not be included, and the bridge 53 may not be included. Meanwhile, Fig. 4 is a rear perspective view of a frame 5〇 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

If the fan driving unit 7A mounted on the motherboard of the computer generates the PWM signal ', the PWM signal is input to the fan control unit 1', and the fan control unit 10 controls the rotation speed of the fan 20 based on the duty cycle of the PWM signal. At the same time, the pWM signal is input to the illumination control unit 4, and the illumination control unit 40 generates the first illumination control signal to the third illumination control signal based on the duty cycle of the PWM signal, and selectively turns the first illumination diode on or off. The body 31 to the third light emitting diode 33. In this case, the current applied to the first to third light-emitting diodes 3 to 33 is controlled by the first to third illumination control signals, and the first light-emitting diode 31. The color of the light emitted by the third light-emitting diode is continuously changed. Thus, by employing the color of the light-emitting diode 30, the fan assembly 1 for changing the color of the light-emitting diodes 3 based on the rotational speed of the fan 20 can make the rotational speed of the fan 20 visible, thereby enabling visual The temperature of the component to be cooled and the rotational speed of the fan 2〇 are checked.
