Fan frame and fan utilizing the same

Abstract

A fan frame and a fan utilizing the same are provided. A fan frame includes a case, a motor base, at least one airflow guiding component, and a line leading mechanism. The case has a through hole. The motor base is disposed in the case. The airflow guiding components, such as static blades or curved ribs, are radially disposed between the case and the motor base. The line leading mechanism, for positioning a power line and leading the power line out of the case, is integrated with one of the airflow guiding components.

1 . A fan frame, comprising: 
 a case comprising an opening;    a motor base disposed in the case for supporting an impeller;    at least one airflow guiding component disposed between the case and the motor base; and    a line leading mechanism for positioning a power line and leading the power line out of the case;    wherein the line leading mechanism is integrated with one of the airflow guiding components.    
   
   
       2 . The fan frame as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the line leading mechanism comprises a line guiding groove, an opening of which faces the outside of the case for allowing the power line to be disposed therein.  
   
   
       3 . The fan frame as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the opening penetrates through the case to form an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet, and the airflow guiding components are disposed at the airflow outlet.  
   
   
       4 . The fan frame as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the case further comprises a hole, and the power line in the line guiding groove is led out of the case by passing through the hole.  
   
   
       5 . The fan frame as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the line guiding groove, connected between the motor base and the case, is exposed out of the case, so that the power line is positioned and led out of the case by the line guiding groove.  
   
   
       6 . The fan frame as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the line guiding groove comprises a restraining portion for limiting the power line in the line guiding groove.  
   
   
       7 . The fan frame as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the line leading mechanism comprises a through hole, and the power line is disposed in the through hole and is led out of the case.  
   
   
       8 . The fan frame as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the width of the airflow guiding component integrated with the line leading mechanism differs from that of any other airflow guiding component not integrated with the line leading mechanism.  
   
   
       9 . The fan frame as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the airflow guiding components are static blades or curved ribs.  
   
   
       10 . A fan, comprising: 
 an impeller; and    a fan frame comprising: 
 a case comprising an opening;  
 a motor base disposed in the case for supporting the impeller;  
 at least one airflow guiding component disposed between the case and the motor base; and  
 a line leading mechanism for positioning a power line and leading the power line out of the case;  
 wherein the line leading mechanism is integrated with one of the airflow guiding components.  
   
   
   
       11 . The fan as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the line leading mechanism comprises a line guiding groove, an opening of which faces the outside of the case for allowing the power line to be disposed therein.  
   
   
       12 . The fan as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the opening penetrates through the case to form an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet, and the airflow guiding components are disposed at the airflow outlet.  
   
   
       13 . The fan as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the case further comprises a hole, and the power line in the line guiding groove is led out of the case by passing through the hole.  
   
   
       14 . The fan as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the line guiding groove, connected between the motor base and the case, is exposed out of the case, so that the power line is positioned and led out of the case by the line guiding groove.  
   
   
       15 . The fan as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the line guiding groove comprises a restraining portion for limiting the power line in the line guiding groove.  
   
   
       16 . The fan as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the line leading mechanism comprises a through hole, and the power line is disposed in the through hole and is led out of the case.  
   
   
       17 . The fan as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the width of the airflow guiding component integrated with the line leading mechanism differs from that of any other airflow guiding component not integrated with the line leading mechanism.  
   
   
       18 . The fan as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the airflow guiding components are static blades or curved ribs.  
   
   
       19 . The fan as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the fan is an axial-flow fan.
