Abstract

An anti-vibration fan includes a frame, a bottom chassis and an elastic frame. The elastic frame includes a plurality of curved plate-like suspending arms, each having a first suspending arm section. An end of the suspending arm section has a bent section with a curved shape at its middle section, and an end of the bent section has a second suspending arm section. The bottom chassis includes a disc body and a plurality of protruding ribs extended upward from the disc body and connected to the first suspending arm section. The second suspending arm section is connected to a frame body of the frame, and the plurality of suspending arms form the elastic frame. After vanes are pivotally connected to the bottom chassis, the elastic frame cancels out the vibration force produced by the rotating vanes, so as to reduce noises and enhance the life expectancy of vanes effectively.

Claims

       2 . The anti-vibration fan of  claim 1 , wherein the suspending arm is substantially in a curved shape and includes a first suspending arm section with an end connected to a bent section, an end of the bent section is connected to a second suspending arm section, and the second suspending arm section is connected to the frame body. 
   
   
       3 . The anti-vibration fan of  claim 2 , wherein the bent section is S-shaped. 
   
   
       4 . The anti-vibration fan of  claim 2 , wherein the bent section is L-shaped. 
   
   
       5 . The anti-vibration fan of  claim 2 , wherein the suspending arm comes with a width tapered from the second suspending arm section to the first suspending arm section. 
   
   
       6 . A frame structure for anti-vibration fan, with a frame structure for retaining a coil module and operating a vane, comprising:
 a frame, having a hollow frame body, and the frame body having a plurality of embedding grooves;   a bottom chassis, having a disc body, a plurality of protruding ribs extended upward from the disc body, and an insert slot disposed in each protruding rib; and   an elastic frame, including a plurality of suspending arms with a curved shape at a middle section of the each suspending arm, and an end of the each suspending arm being inserted into the insert slot and another end of the each suspending arm being connected to the embedding groove.   
   
   
       7 . The frame structure for anti-vibration fan of  claim 6 , wherein the embedding groove is disposed on an external wall of the frame body. 
   
   
       8 . The frame structure for anti-vibration fan of  claim 6 , wherein the embedding groove is disposed inside the frame body. 
   
   
       9 . The frame structure for anti-vibration fan of  claim 6 , wherein the suspending arm is in a curved plate-like shape and has a first suspending arm section thereon, and an end of the first suspending arm section is connected to a bent section, and an end of the bent section is connected to a second suspending arm section, and an end of the second suspending arm section is connected to the frame body. 
   
   
       10 . The frame structure for anti-vibration fan of  claim 9 , wherein the bent section is S-shaped. 
   
   
       11 . The frame structure for anti-vibration fan of  claim 9 , wherein the bent section is L-shaped. 
   
   
       12 . The frame structure for anti-vibration fan of  claim 9 , wherein the suspending arm comes with a width tapered from the second suspending arm section to the first suspending arm section. 
   
   
       13 . An anti-vibration fan, with a frame structure for retaining a coil module and operating a vane, comprising:
 a frame, having a hollow frame body thereon;   an elastic frame, installed on the frame body, and having a ring body thereon, a bottom disc disposed at the middle of the ring body, and a plurality of suspending arms having a curved shape at the middle section of the each suspending arm and connected between the bottom disc and the ring body; and   a bottom chassis, installed on the bottom disc.   
   
   
       14 . The anti-vibration fan of  claim 13 , wherein the frame body has a plurality of connecting holes disposed at the top of the frame body, and the connecting hole is a screw hole. 
   
   
       15 . The anti-vibration fan of  claim 13 , wherein the suspending arm is in a linear plate-like shape and has a first suspending arm section connected to the ring body, an end of the first suspending arm section is connected to a bent section with a curved shaped at a middle section of the bent section, and an end of the bent section is connected to a second suspending arm section, and an end of the second suspending arm section is connected to the bottom disc. 
   
   
       16 . The anti-vibration fan of  claim 15 , wherein the bent section is S-shaped. 
   
   
       17 . The anti-vibration fan of  claim 15 , wherein the bent section is L-shaped. 
   
   
       18 . The anti-vibration fan of  claim 13 , wherein the ring body includes a plurality of through holes for passing the locking elements. 
   
   
       19 . The anti-vibration fan of  claim 13 , wherein the locking element is a screw. 
   
   
       20 . An anti-vibration fan, with a frame structure for retaining a coil module and operating a vane, comprising:
 a frame, having a hollow frame body, a plurality of protruding ribs disposed on the frame body, and an insert slot disposed on the protruding rib;   a bottom chassis, having a disc body, a plurality of protruding ribs extended outward from the disc body, and an insert slot disposed in the protruding rib; and   an elastic frame, including a plurality of suspending arms having a curved shape at a middle section of the each suspending arm, and an end of the suspending arm being inserted into the insert slot of the frame, and another end of the suspending arm being connected with the insert slot of the disc body.
