Definitions
- the subject matter relates to a heat dissipation fan, and particularly relates to a fan frame and a heat dissipation fan having the same.
- a traditional fan includes a stator, a rotor, and a fan frame receiving the stator and the rotor.
- the rotor is driven by a motor to rotate relative to the stator, therefore dissipating heat generated from electronic elements.
- vibration and noise can be caused when the fan is working and stability of a heat sink including the fan is reduced.
- FIG. 1 is an assembly schematic view of a heat dissipation fan in accordance with a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
- FIG. 2 is a cross-section view of the heat dissipation fan in FIG. 1 , taken along the line II-II.

- FIG. 5 is cross-section view of a heat dissipation fan in accordance with a fourth exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
- FIG. 6 is cross-section view of a heat dissipation fan in accordance with a fifth exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
- FIG. 7 is cross-section view of a heat dissipation fan in accordance with a sixth exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
- Coupled is defined as connected, whether directly or indirectly through intervening components, and is not necessarily limited to physical connections.
- the connection can be such that the objects are permanently connected or releasably connected.
- substantially is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape, or other feature that the term modifies, such that the component need not be exact.
- substantially cylindrical means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder.
- comprising when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series, and the like.
- a heat dissipation fan 1 of a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes a fan frame 10 and an impeller 20 received in the fan frame 10 .
- the heat dissipation fan 1 may be an aerofoil fan.
- the fan frame 10 includes a housing 11 and a base 12 surrounded by the housing 11 .
- the housing 11 is substantially cuboid-shaped.
- the housing 11 is hollow.
- the housing 11 includes a first end face 111 and a second end face 112 .
- the first end face 111 and the second end face 112 are opposite to each other.
- the impeller 20 is received between the first end face 111 and the second end face 112 .
- the base 12 is arranged adjacent to the second end face 112 of the housing 11 .
- a bottom face of the base 12 is coplanar with the second end face 112 .
- the base 12 includes a disc 121 , a plurality of ribs 122 , and a hollow tube 123 .
- the disc 121 is positioned at the center of the base 12 .

- the disc 121 is hollow.
- a hole 1213 is defined at the center of the disc 121 .
- the disc 121 includes an inner surface 1211 and an outer surface 1212 .
- the inner surface 1211 is cylindrical and defines the hole 1213 .
- the inner surface 1211 is an inner wall of the hole 1213 .
- the outer surface 1212 is a periphery of the disc 121 .
- the ribs 122 are formed on the outer surface 1212 of the disc 121 .
- the ribs 122 extend outwards from the outer surface 1212 of the disc 121 radially until interconnecting with an inner wall of the housing 11 .
- Each rib 122 is substantially a thick and straight line.
- the ribs 122 are positioned adjacent to the second end face 112 of the housing 11 .
- the hollow tube 123 is formed on a top surface of the disc 121 .
- the hollow tube 123 extends from a center part of the top surface of the disc 121 upwards.
- a channel 1231 is defined at the center of the hollow tube 123 .
- the channel 1231 of the hollow tube 123 and the hole 1213 of the disc 121 are used for fixing and carrying the impeller 20 .
- the hollow tube 123 has a rotary connection with the impeller 20 .
- the fan frame 10 can further include a buffer member 13 .
- the buffer member 13 is made of damping material.
- the damping material may be silicon resin, rubber, plastic, sponge and so on.
- the buffer member 13 includes a first buffer element 131 .
- the first buffer element 131 is embedded in the disc 121 .
